KS3 History

Our KS3 History course has recently been revised and now includes a brand new set of Tutor-marked Assignments (TMAs), in addition to the existing series of TMAs.  The new assignments take an investigative approach to history and ask students to engage in activities that aim to develop their historical skills. They will need to access websites to search for information and carry out tasks. All such sites have been carefully chosen for their authority and reliability. Some of the tasks encourage students to explore local, regional and national history on site and online. By using authoritative websites in connection with on site visits students are encouraged to ask questions, actively develop their historical skills and knowledge, and engage in areas of interest that provide a framework for historical study at GCSE, IGCSE and A level.
