Intent

Our intent is that our teaching of History will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We aim to inspire pupils’ curiosity about the past through an enquiry-led curriculum. This will enable children to ask perceptive questions, think critically, consider evidence, sift through arguments, and develop perspective and judgement.

Through the teaching of History, we endeavour to enable children to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, causes and consequences of people’s actions, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.

Implementation

Our aim is to provide children with the tools to be inquisitive learners through leading enquiry-led teaching.

 

Children will have access to a wide range of sources in order for them to interrogate their importance and validity.

 

Through a range of tasks such as role-play, art, visits, investigations and written pieces, children will demonstrate their understanding and make judgements where necessary.

 

At the end of each topic teachers will assess their progress by carrying out an assessment piece and children completing a sticky knowledge quiz.
