Ofsted report evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of history in primary and secondary schools in England.

The report evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of history in primary and secondary schools in England. It does so at a time of changing contexts and lively debate on the future of the subject. The Every Child Matters agenda to maximise pupils' potential raises significant questions about what is taught and how. There is also much public and political interest in issues of citizenship, the understanding of 'British' values and social cohesion. In reflecting on evidence from inspection, the report considers how history teaching might respond to these challenges.
