  • Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils study the historical environment of Notting Hill in the 1950s and 1960s. They learn about the local context of this area and the influence of Caribbean cultures there. They also learn about racism, policing and black activism in the area.

This unit uses and builds on the previous key stage 4 unit where pupils learnt about post-war migration to Britain and the experiences of those who migrated. This unit prepares pupils for any further study of Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, or of the historical environment.
