Many thanks for this enlightening article. As a primary school teacher of 40 years I have long felt that the KS1 and 2 history curriculum gave children an unreal idea of many topics....The Tudors through Henry V111 The misunderstandings about the Vikings and dare I be so bold as to say the slightly one sided view of WW2, The token topic of Rosa Parks to year 2 to name but a few. Oh that the history curriculum were in the hands of people like you Guy.
