Teaching Romany Gypsy History within Key Stages 1, 2 and 3

The lessons in this unit do not constitute a single "module". Instead they seek to show how aspects of Romany Gypsy life can find a place naturally within existing work at Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. This approach has been adopted as it is in some ways preferable to come across Gypsy Romany culture as part of more general work on British society, rather than to make it the focus of specific, self-contained studies (although each approach has its strengths).
