History forms an important part of our curriculum. We follow the National curriculum and embrace a broad-spectrum of stimulating topics. As a school we aim to wholly develop each child’s historical skills, understanding and knowledge. Consequently, our lessons are well planned, highly engaging and challenge all abilities. Other curriculum areas are incorporated into learning to ensure high levels of motivation and interest from the children. We teach a knowledge rich curriculum that is ambitious and designed to give all learners the skills needed to succeed in life. We use knowledge organisers to provide every child with key historical vocabulary needed to raise attainment within the topic or objective covered. As well as this, we firmly believe that visits and trips are fundamental to our learning and these practical experiences enhance the children’s learning further. We provide the children with a secure understanding of chronology and where the period of time taught fits into the overall timeline of events within history.
Our History Subject Leader is Mr Staley.
