Our enquiry based history curriculum has been written to promote curiosity and encourage children to think and reflect in order to acquire knowledge and give them an understanding about the past in Britain and the wider world and how history has shaped today’s society. Our rich local heritage is used to enhance our curriculum to ensure children have a knowledge of their local area and how it has changed overtime. The golden threads provide an opportunity for children to revisit key themes throughout their school career and to learn about more abstract terms. It also allows links to be made between different periods in history and provide contexts to our lives today.
Our curriculum will allow children to be confident, articulate historians who can interpret and analyse historical sources and communicate their understanding confidently.
Our pupils will:
- understand how history has shaped the world we live in today
- gain a knowledge about the past (substantive knowledge)
- Understand how historians study the past and how they construct historical claims, arguments and accounts (disciplinary knowledge)
