Editorial note

Educational content should be reviewed by qualified educators and subject specialists before formal classroom adoption.

This platform provides curriculum-supporting educational resources. It does not claim approval, endorsement or accreditation from the Department for Education, Ofsted, exam boards or any UK government body unless such approval is formally obtained and displayed.

1. Sources

  • Peer-reviewed academic works and university-press publications.
  • National archives, museum collections and reputable primary-source repositories.
  • UNESCO reference works and other established multi-national historical projects.
  • Government statistics and, where relevant, publications from recognised statutory bodies.

Every factual claim in a published lesson is intended to carry a citation traceable to a named source.

2. Review stages

  1. Draft — research and initial writing.
  2. Internal editorial review — structure, tone, key-stage suitability.
  3. Subject-specialist review — factual accuracy and framing, by a specialist with relevant academic or teaching expertise.
  4. Safeguarding and accessibility review — age-appropriateness, framing of sensitive material, accessibility of interactive elements.
  5. Published — visible to licensed users with review status shown on the lesson.

3. Review status labels

  • Draft — visible internally only or marked clearly in preview.
  • Under specialist review — content is being checked by a subject specialist.
  • Reviewed — content has completed specialist review as at the date shown on the lesson.
  • Refresh scheduled — the lesson is queued for its next scheduled review.

4. Framing and tone

Content is written in a calm, factual, source-led register. We avoid agenda-led wording, political slogans, and false claims of official endorsement. Where historical debate exists, that debate is described alongside the evidence.

5. Corrections and feedback

Teachers may submit corrections or evidence-based suggestions via the account dashboard or by email to Karl Newton at newtonwebdesign.co.uk@gmail.com. We aim to acknowledge factual corrections promptly and to update the affected lessons in the next review cycle, or sooner where accuracy requires it.

6. Review cadence

Published lessons are reviewed on a rolling basis and no less than once per academic year, with priority given to topics where scholarship or public data has meaningfully changed.
