Abstract
SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT IN 1972 the Schools History Project has been a major influence on the development of history teaching in England. The Project provides an examination course for 14 to 16 year old pupils but its impact has been felt throughout the 11 to 18 age range and it has much in common with effective history teaching for 5 to 11 year olds. While the work of Project staff has concentrated on its own course development, teaching methods and the production of materials for use in schools, the Project's experience of curriculum development raises a range of wider educational issues which have affected its impact-the possibility of structuring progression in pupils' learning, the inter-relationship of subject studies in schools and higher education, the value and purpose of in-service training of teachers. This article therefore reviews the Project's own developments, the lessons it has learned and tried to put into practice and then considers broader issues of curriculum development in history.
