About KS2 History
KS2 History helps children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (ages 7-11) understand how the past shapes the world today. Our teacher-written quizzes follow the England National Curriculum and turn big topics into short, confidence-building practice for home and classroom learning.
Children explore key civilisations, events and changes, and they learn how historians use evidence to build up a picture of what happened. Quizzes also support important skills such as placing events in chronological order, spotting cause and consequence, and using topic vocabulary accurately.
To get the best results, link quizzes to what your child is studying. Play a quiz, read the instant feedback, and then repeat it a few days later. This spaced practice helps facts and timelines stick, and it makes revision feel manageable.
See the official curriculum guidance on GOV.UK: National curriculum in England: history programmes of study.
