  • Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils examine the factors that led to westward migration from Britain across the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. They learn about the connections between migration, North America and the Transatlantic Slave Trade alongside studies of Huguenot and Scottish migration.

This unit uses and builds on the previous key stage 4 unit which focused on medieval migration. It also develops pupils' knowledge about the early modern period, the Atlantic World and the Transatlantic Slave Trade that they built in parts of year 7 and year 8. This unit prepares pupils for the next, where migration is examined during the 19th century.

  2. The Transatlantic Slave Trade
  3. The War of Independence

  • Pupils know that the Reformation led to religious tension in Europe.
  • Pupils will know that countries in Western Europe began to build empires in the 1400s.
