Teaching Black British History in the Curriculum
This publication aims to give teachers and schools the information needed in order to intertwine black British history into the existing curriculum. The lessons and resources can be used as standalone sessions, or as part of a sequence of learning.
There are aspects of black British history that link really easily with existing topics such as the Romans in Britain, where the Aurelian Moors were stationed to defend Hadrian’s wall. Or evidence of the Cheddar Man can be used to teach children learning about how in Stone Age Britain, people weren’t necessarily just white even thousands of years ago.
There are some easy links that can be made, and some more challenging ones, but it is here in this publication. It can be purchased for KS1, KS2 or both combined. Click the picture or the link below to purchase through Focus Education.

Taking Your curriculum to the next level
The first in a range of publications focussing on developing ‘golden threads’ through specific subject areas in the primary curriculum. This one focusses on history, considering the overarching substantive concepts, how children learn and the more specific concepts that can develop these threads in order to support children with making links across their knowledge. Once available, a link will be posted here!
#Historybites is the beginning of something special. Alex is developing a range of short e-books that will explore in more detail the specific subject knowledge required to teach the aspects of history covered in the primary national curriculum. These will be useful for teachers, both for developing their own subject knowledge and to use with the children. Alex will also be recording short clips to go with the publications in order to explain the information in more detail. There are further ideas in the pipeline for #Geographybites , #Sciencebites and maybe more. Watch this space!
