Praise for the 1st editions:

“The Knowing History textbooks have been a valuable resource to improve my own teaching of the subject. The books are well-written, and the accompanying teacher resources are excellent. Their use has massively improved my student's writing and historical comprehension. It is the best KS3 textbook I have come across.”

Rob Law, Head of History at Saint Martins' Catholic Academy

“The Knowing History series has been a great help to the department. It has allowed for a much more consistent approach, ensuring a high quality of knowledge across all lessons. The textbooks are simply laid out, in a clutter-free approach which we have found refreshing. The breadth of knowledge is also excellent; for example, we now teach a number of medieval kings, rather than a whole enquiry on William the Conqueror. Although not the primary purpose of the books, we have also found it a great help for non-specialist teachers and for setting cover.”

Jon Wayman, Head of History, Classics and Politics at Longsands Academy

“KS3 students have enjoyed using Knowing History in lessons as it immerses them in knowledge-rich narratives and provides them with opportunities to read aloud. Students particularly enjoy the fact boxes. Trainees find Knowing History beneficial in supporting their own knowledge development while also providing a standardised approach for all staff across the department.”

Tessa McLaughlin, Head of History at Bedford Academy
