KS3 History

Rougemont’s Key Stage 3 History curriculum ‘shadows’ the National Curriculum and builds on the knowledge and skills students have gained in the Junior School. A wide range of both national and global topics are studied and through these students develop and extend their historical skills and understanding.

The KS3 topics studied are:

Year 7 : Britain and the Medieval World, c.1000 to 1500

Topics include the Norman Conquest, Medieval kingship, the medieval Church, the murder of Thomas Becket, the Black Death and the Peasants’ Revolt.

Year 8 : Britain in the Early Modern World, c.1500 to 1700

Topics include the Reformation in both Europe and Britain, the reigns of the Tudor monarchs Henry VIII, Edward V, Mary and Elizabeth I and their impact on Britain, a study on the Voyages of Discovery and a project on the Civil War.

Year 9 : Aspects of the Twentieth Century World

Topics include the First World War, the USA in the 1920s and early 1930s and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict.
