Confident Schools
Secondary history department handbook — KS3 to A Level
One book for the whole department: the head of history defending curriculum time and the teacher taking a Year 9 class through a source they have never seen. What historical thinking actually is, how it is built from Year 7 to Year 13, and what separates a student who knows a great deal from one who can argue with it.

History is the subject most often taught as content and examined as reasoning. No question on any board’s paper asks a student to reproduce what happened; every one asks what they make of it. A curriculum built as a tour of topics prepares students for a paper nobody sets.
This booklet is written for the whole department at once. A head of history can read it as a curriculum and quality-assurance document; a teacher can open it at the page they need on a Tuesday. The specifications were read from the current documents rather than from summaries, and where the boards differ the difference is stated rather than blended.
