The new National Curriculum for Schools in England came into force in September 2014 in the wake of prolonged controversy, notably around the revisions to the English and History curricula. The History National Curriculum was particularly controversial, accused of being overly focused on a narrowly conceived and celebratory British 'island story' at the expense of a more global outlook and content. Moreover, the 'island' narrative was heavily criticised for promoting a homogeneous account of 'British identity' and 'British history', which erased its global/imperial past, its long history of migration and the foundations of contemporary multicultural Britain. A campaign by Operation Black Vote in 2012 to retain key black figures in the curriculum garnered over 36,000 signatures, including leading politicians, while a 2015 recent campaign to make black history a mandatory part of the primary curriculum received nearly 44,000 signatures.While the revised curriculum addressed some of these concerns, and offers the opportunity for study of ancient civilisations, slavery and non-European histories, there is still little scope for engaging with Britain's diverse history 'at home'. Accordingly, in December 2014, the OCR exam board revealed its plans to introduce a new GCSE history module 'Migration into Britain', exploring the impact of migration on Britain over the past 2000 years - the first and, to date, only module of its kind. However, the content and resources underpinning this module are as yet undeveloped.Our previous two successful AHRC funded follow-on projects 'Making Histories' and 'History Lessons', which used oral and local histories to explore migration to Britain, revealed both an appetite for black British histories amongst pupils and teachers, and uncertainty on the part of teachers as to how to teach diversity, as well as a lack of available resources. This lack of easily accessible resources, along with the increased demands on teachers' time and expertise, is likely to doom the OCR's and other future initiatives to failure. However, our previous projects also demonstrate a strong willingness by academics, museums and archives, oral and local historians and black history archives, as well as teachers, to collaborate on producing materials that can be adopted by teachers and schools. The current project plans to build on previous research experience and collaborative links to develop coherent and accessible resources to support the teaching of diverse histories at Key Stage 4 (GCSE). In partnership with Runnymede and the OCR exam board, we will bring together a range of academics, historians, teachers and stakeholders, to develop an innovative online interactive website, which examines the history of migration to Britain in the 20th and 21st centuries, and explores the various migration flows that have shaped contemporary multicultural Britain. The project seeks to engage a range of partners and stakeholders in a unique collaborative venture aimed at diversifying the history curriculum and producing appropriate, innovative and accessible online resources to support teachers and pupils in this process. Drawing on similar research-based websites and resources, such as those dealing with slavery, the project will facilitate a 'joined-up' approach to curriculum development and support, bringing together academic research, schemes of work, primary resources and supporting material to provide a 'one stop shop' for schools, teachers and young people wishing to teach or study Britain's diverse histories.

在漫长的争议之后，尤其是围绕英语和历史课程的修订，英格兰学校的新国家课程于2014年9月生效。 《历史》全国课程尤其有争议，被指控过于专注于一个狭窄的构思和庆祝的英国“岛屿故事”，而牺牲了更全球的观点和内容。此外，“岛屿”的叙述因促进了对“英国身份”和“英国历史”的同质描述而受到严厉批评，这些叙述消除了其全球/帝国的过去，漫长的移民历史以及当代多元文化的英国基础。 A campaign by Operation Black Vote in 2012 to retain key black figures in the curriculum garnered over 36,000 signatures, including leading politicians, while a 2015 recent campaign to make black history a mandatory part of the primary curriculum received nearly 44,000 signatures.While the revised curriculum addressed some of these concerns, and offers the opportunity for study of ancient civilisations, slavery and non-European histories, there is still little scope for engaging with英国的“家里”多样化的历史。因此，2014年12月，OCR考试委员会揭示了其计划介绍新的GCSE历史模块“移民到英国”的计划，并探讨了过去2000年中移民对英国的影响 - 迄今为止是第一个，迄今为止仅是同类模块。但是，该模块支撑的内容和资源尚未开发。我们的前两个成功的AHRC资助了后续的项目“建立历史”和“历史课程”，这些项目使用口头和地方历史来探索向英国的迁移，这既揭示了对学生和教师之间的不足之处，以及对教师的一定程度，以及如何在教师身上进行了多样化，这既是对教师的偏见的偏见。这种缺乏易于使用的资源，以及对教师时间和专业知识的需求增加，可能会注定OCR和其他未来的计划失败。但是，我们以前的项目也表明了学者，博物馆和档案馆，口头和当地历史学家以及黑人历史档案以及教师的强烈意愿，以合作生产材料，这些材料可以被教师和学校采用。当前的项目计划基于以前的研究经验和协作链接，以开发连贯且可访问的资源，以支持关键阶段4（GCSE）的不同历史的教学。通过与Runnymede和OCR考试委员会合作，我们将汇集一系列的学者，历史学家，教师和利益相关者，以开发创新的在线互动网站，该网站研究了20世纪和21世纪的迁移历史，并探索各种迁移流动，这些迁移流动了各种迁移，这些迁移流动了当代多元文化的英国人。该项目旨在与一系列合作伙伴和利益相关者参与一项独特的合作企业，旨在多样化历史课程，并生产适当，创新且易于访问的在线资源，以在此过程中为教师和学生提供支持。该项目利用类似的基于研究的网站和资源（例如处理奴隶制的网站和资源）促进了课程开发和支持的“加入”方法，将学术研究，工作计划，主要资源和支持材料汇集在一起​​，为学校提供“一站式商店”，为学校，教师和希望教授英国多样化的历史悠久的教师和年轻人。
