  • Power, government and religion

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the causes of the Magna Carta, its reissue and its continued importance in the development of the first parliaments. At the same time, pupils analyse how and why the principles of the Magna Carta survived.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' recently developed year 7 knowledge of medieval England, alongside their understanding of ideas such as government, rulers and ruling that they began to build in key stages 1 and 2 across a variety of people, places and times. This unit prepares pupils for various year 7 units that require an understanding of England's early parliaments and the legacies of Magna Carta, such as in units on the Peasants' Revolt and the Wars of the Roses.
