|Ambleside Online  - http://www.amblesideonline.org

Ambleside Online is a thorough free curriculum/syllabus that covers all ages from five to 18. It is a literature-based curriculum that is devised on the Charlotte Mason method, and the recommended resources  are of an excellent quality, and most of them are freely available download (free) and others are books that you will have to buy. It is American - however, there is a lot on British history and that is covered for several years. It is Christian in that it has recommended Bible readings and devotionals, however, it is possible to secularise it by leaving that out if you so choose.
