History
Our History curriculum aims to provide our children with a clear understanding of the past of both Britain and the wider world and for them to be inquisitive of the past and how it has shaped the world we live in today. History helps them to understand processes of change, how complex and diverse people’s live and societies are and the relationships between the different groups.
Starting from EYFS, they build their understanding of chronology and how people’s lives have changed over time. In KS1 children focus on significant events and people and find similarities and differences between them while in KS2 the children develop a clear, chronological narrative of the history of Britain what has shaped the nation been influenced by the wider world. In addition, they will discover other world civilisations, empires, societies and their achievements. We want them to be able to ask questions, evaluate and think critically about evidence and sources and develop judgements and perspective. The curriculum is designed so that children can explore historical concepts and make links between different time periods and make use of historical vocabulary and terms that progresses through the time periods studied.
