Over the years, the journal “Primary History” has posed a number of challenges for subject leaders to address.  Many of these remain relevant in the current curriculum.  They aim to provide common sense advice that can be managed by subject leaders.  The dilemmas affect co-ordinators operating in all kinds of contexts and circumstances such as different sized schools, those with multiple responsibilities and schools where history is both prominent as well as those where the subject has not been identified as a priority.
