History
We deliver the Primary National Curriculum for History in both KS1 and KS2, and have identified key objectives from the EYFS Statutory Framework that serve as essential foundations for this learning. To ensure progressive coverage across all year groups, we have focused on Key Concepts that allow children to revisit important ideas multiple times during their time with us. This approach helps them develop a deep understanding of the core aspects of History.
We have also set ambitious End Points, outlining the level we expect all children to achieve by the time they leave at the end of Year 6. By then, they will be well-prepared to take on the KS3 History curriculum. To support this journey, we have carefully mapped out expectations for each year group, aligned with each key concept.
We make use of our rich local history to build chronological understanding to develop concepts of change and causation within their units of work and where they fit into our understanding of history today. Our children critically examine primary and secondary sources of evidence looking for patterns, differences and trends. They will ask and answer questions about the past and significant events as well as recognising abstract terms which interlink throughout the historic periods.
