Diverse Histories

The ultimate resource for developing a diverse history curriculum in secondary schools.



Exclusively based on historical sources from The National Archives, this book is an indispensable tool for history departments to diversify their Key Stage 3 curriculum and uncover important stories from British history that are often missing from textbooks.



With 60 exciting lesson plans – each reflecting the Key Stage 3 history National Curriculum – as well as downloadable sources, activities and photocopiable resources, this is a must-have book for every humanities department in every secondary school. Allowing for an enquiry-led approach for teaching history, this is a flexible resource that will save teachers hours of searching for authentic sources online and ensure that students develop a diverse knowledge of British history.



In addition to John Blanke, Euan Lucie-Smith, Princess Sophia Duleep Singh and the arrival of the Empire Windrush, students will learn about key figures and events in British history that don't always come up in history lessons. From Shapurji Saklatvala, one of the first people of Indian heritage to become an MP in Britain, to the British Black Power movement in the 1970s, Diverse Histories allows teachers to offer comprehensive and inclusive history lessons that both prepare students for their assessments and enrich their learning.
