Ofsted survey report evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of history in primary and secondary schools.
This Ofsted survey report is based principally on evidence from inspections of history between April 2007 and March 2010 in 166 maintained secondary schools in England.
Part A focuses on the key inspection findings in the context of rising standards since the previous report in 2007.
Part B discusses some of the key issues facing history teachers and describes the essential components of effective learning in history. Both parts of the report give examples of good practice.
