Our history curriculum is built around key concepts such as continuity and change, conquest, nation and invasion.
The children will develop an understanding that history has shaped the world we live in, and that themes reoccur throughout the centuries.
We have organised the curriculum in the following blocks:
EYFS and KS1: Our lives and history in familiar settings
Lower KS2: The shaping of Britain
Year 5: Events that rocked history
Year 6: Ancient and modern
Each module has defined end points - clearly defined knowledge and skills the children are expected to master. The Year 6 modules are designed to extend the knowledge and skills in their own right, and also to enable the children to draw comparisons with themes which they have previously met.
All children are taught the full curriculum, with adaptations made where required for SEND children. These include, but are not limited to, scaffolding of tasks, changes to the way the children record their learning, and focussing on particular key skills and concepts.
