- Our History curriculum is based on the National Curriculum objectives.
- We have created a long-term whole school plan which ensures progression and complete coverage of local, British and world history.
- We intend that all pupils develop an awareness of the past, knowledge of key vocabulary(use of word aware Goldilocks grids) and facts, and a deep understanding of chronology.
- Throughout both KS1 and KS2, we aim for our pupils to ask and answer questions, use a range of sources which are age appropriate and develop the skills to make informed responses about how the past is constructed.
- As children progress throughout the Key Stages, they will develop their understanding of change, cause, similarity and difference and significance, making links and giving some reasons for this.
- Children to develop disciplinary skills and begin to think like an Historian, using sources as evidence to arrive at judgements.
Our History Subject Leader is Natalie Bellett.
