History

History Curriculum Team

Through being taught our curriculum, children should:

To understand that history is a study of the past that includes events within and before their lifetime. This study should inspire curiosity and questioning about changes that have occurred over time.
Be able to comment on similarities and differences between different periods of time using accurate, age-appropriate historical vocabulary.
Know that evidence is needed to comment on and understand the past and that this evidence can take a range of forms, e.g. artefacts, written accounts, interviews, books, letters, photographs.
To understand a basic chronological framework of key events in Britain, Europe and the wider world (based on the places and periods of time studied in the school’s individual curriculum).
Be able to answer questions about the periods of time they have studied, referencing relevant and accurate historical information.

Below are the units that are taught to each year group, along with the explicit skills and concepts that frame our learning.
