As you know there was a curriculum and assessment review in November and the government accepted its recommendations relating to history-which I’ve already covered elsewhere. The New revised National Curriculum will come into force in September 2028 with 5 terms promised notice of the changes in advance. Work on these changes will now begin spearheaded by a team from the Historical Association. It will be leading a consortium tasked with drafting changes to the National Curriculum and GCSE subject content, following recommendations from the recent Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR).
They will work alongside an experienced team of curriculum designers and writers led by the Historical Association’s Deputy President, Dr Michael Maddison who brings extensive expertise in curriculum design and educational leadership and was the OFSTED subject lead for history.
The full team led by Michael Maddison are: Jim Carroll, Christine Counsell, Michael Fordham, Rachel Foster, Claire Holliss,
