This project has created a unique history curriculum, that meets national curriculum requirements, centred in our One Square Mile. This is available for other schools in the local area to use as their own history curriculum, and for the wider schools community to be inspired to create their own resources based on their local area.
See below the time periods, topics and lesson plans available, and how we have been using them in our school. Please be away, that our 'Other Topics' section, are compulsory National Curriculum topics, that may have only had small links to Colchester.
Our lesson plans and resources can be downloaded by topic, or as a whole via the download section of this page.
