Model history curriculum expert panel
A group of experts in history, history teaching and curriculum design who are advising the Department for Education in developing a model history curriculum.
Role
The aim of the panel is to develop a model history curriculum by 2024.
The model curriculum will be a non-statutory guidance document that will:
- support the teaching of high-quality, knowledge-rich content

- act as an example to support curriculum design in schools
