The History curriculum is designed to ensure pupils acquire a coherent knowledge and understanding of the stories of Britain and that of the wider world.
Our children learn to ask questions, think critically, develop oracy, evaluate evidence and understand different perspectives to create their own judgement about past events. Additionally, they will be able to recall, select and organise historical information by developing a sense of sequence and chronology whilst using historical terminology accurately. All children are encouraged to identify reasons for the different ways in which the past is represented and interpreted, alongside developing their knowledge of significant aspects of the history of the wider world. This will support their understanding of the present and enable them to make sense of the future as they build on the foundations of knowledge which they have acquired.
In studying History, children use the key concepts of continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance in order to make connections and ask historically valid questions; therefore, developing the ability to create their own written narratives and analyses of the knowledge they have acquired.
