Our history curriculum is designed to provide opportunities to explore and gain an understanding of cultural, economic, military, political, religious and social history within our local region, nationally and internationally. All children develop a coherent understanding of British history and why our lives are the way they are. They are able to consider how the past has shaped the present and the impact they can have on the future.

Grammarsaurus lessons provide a strong introduction to the key skills a historian must have as well as the key concepts mentioned above. High quality sources are provided for every lesson so that pupils are fully experiencing how we know about the past. Activities in lessons range from analysing sources, describing what we can learn from them, comparing sources or events or time periods, exploring change and discussing reasons for change. We may produce written work or we may use drama, art or DT to explore and share our learning.

We aim for each unit of work to provide a WOW experience for the children including welcoming visitors or attending trips to places of local interest. We celebrate our learning through whole school events like our most recent History dress up day.
