Ofsted
Ofsted reports into history, such as the 2011 History for All report as well as examples of good practice have provided insightful evidence as to what primary schools are doing well and where they can develop. The Ofsted History for All report of 2011 highlighted that history at Key Stage 2 was a popular subject and that content was well taught. However, knowledge was often without links and therefore episodic. Children were less likely to make progress in historical concepts and processes. In this section, you will find links to Ofsted research into history in English primary schools that provides a solid evidence base alongside HA surveys for those wishing to gather evidence for research, or to inform developmental planning.
