History
 
We believe that a well-rounded History curriculum will allow children to gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We have carefully designed our History curriculum so that children gain this knowledge as they progress through the school and build on prior knowledge.
 
Our curriculum is designed to build chronological knowledge with a timeline running through the school. This forms the building blocks of knowledge. Lessons are designed to use recall/recap skills at the beginning of History lessons. Building pupil's vocabulary and wider understanding of historical events, concepts, and how to link them.
 
Through our History curriculum, we strive to inspire pupils’ curiosity about the past and to know more about the past. The whole school also shares ‘cultural capital’ assemblies all about these significant events.
