The following are all History enquiries – sequences of lessons that use single, overarching and meaningful questions to engage students in historical thinking. All have been planned for and taught in mixed ability, comprehensive classrooms in London secondary schools.

How was Britain made, remade and contested between 1951 and 2007?
Was there more change than continuity in British-Jamaican relations between 1760 and 1870
Why have some stories of 1971 been so difficult to tell?
How similar were the Mansas in Mali to the Obas in Benin?
What can we infer from ‘migrant sources’ about the history of the British Isles over the last thousand years?
