<p>The Department for Education is not involved with this publication, nor have we
received any reports from schools regarding any such requests.</p><p> </p><p>The new
national curriculum for history, to be taught in maintained schools from September
2014, includes key developments relating to the history of Parliament ranging from
Magna Carta and the emergence of Parliament to women’s suffrage in the early twentieth
century. In addition, as part of the new national curriculum for citizenship, secondary
age pupils should be taught about the development of the political system of democratic
government in the United Kingdom, including the roles of citizens, Parliament and
the monarch. Schools are free to choose which resources they use to teach the curriculum;
the work being carried out by the Trust to educate young people about the history
of Parliament through teaching resources and school competitions will help schools
in teaching these key developments in British history.</p><p> </p>
