jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

No IiS resources have been developed at Key Stage 3 for Catholic Emancipation, Daniel

O’Connell, repeal, Gladstone, Parnell and the home rule movement.


However, it is possible to adapt or at least draw upon study units and other resources devised

on these topics for AS2, such as the following which form part of the programme developed

at Ashfield School, Ashfield in Makerfield, as part of the Nottingham Pilot Scheme.


The full programme is available at:
