Our History curriculum is based around PKC. It allows children to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of local, British, and world history. The knowledge in the curriculum has been carefully chosen and sequenced using a largely chronological approach. Each unit of work is not a stand-alone topic, but a chapter in the story of the history of Britain and the wider world.
The history curriculum is balanced to enable children to look in some depth at local, national and world history, encouraging children to explore the connection between significant events and people and how they have influenced the modern world.
We strive to create a supportive and collaborative ethos for learning by providing investigative learning opportunities. Emphasis is beginning to be placed on analytical thinking which helps children gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
Respect: Through exploring different communities and historical topics, the children are encouraged to demonstrate respect.
Responsibility: Our children learn about other children who took the opportunity through history to make their communities better.
Reflection: Our children are encouraged through the teaching sequences to reflect on how historical events have shaped theirs and others lives today.
