Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about post-war migration to Britain from East Africa, the Caribbean and the Falklands. They also learn about the impact EU membership had on migrant experiences in Britain.

This unit uses and builds on the previous key stage 4 unit which focused on migration within the British Empire. It also develops knowledge about post-war Britain that pupils built towards the end of year 6 and year 9. This unit prepares pupils for later study of contrasting post-war societies, such as the USA.

The end of the British Empire in the 20th century
Post war migration to Britain: The Windrush generation
Post war migration to Britain: Migration from East Africa
Post war migration to Britain: The Falklands
The impact of the EU on migrant experiences in Britain
Experience of post-WW2 migrants in Britain
