  • Power, government and religion

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about England and the Angevin Empire under Henry II's rule. They then use their knowledge of Henry's rule to evaluate the degree to which he was a successful king.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of Victorian Britain that they have developed in units in key stage 1 and in earlier year 9 units such as 'The Industrial Revolution: did industrialisation revolutionise people's lives?'. This unit prepares pupils for the later year 9 unit that focuses on women's suffrage.

  1. Widening the franchise in 19th century Britain

  • Pupils know that Britain was a partial democracy in the early 19th century.
  • Pupils know that the Great Reform Act of 1832 had only narrowly widened the franchise.
  • Pupils know that the question of who should have the right to vote was a major debate in the nineteenth century.
