Focus

Our focus is to enrich, inspire and enthuse children in their understanding of the past, how it has changed and evolved over the years. We especially wish to bring history to life!

Aims

In History we aim to develop our historical skills and understanding through five main areas:

• Chronological understanding
• Knowledge and understanding of people and events in the past, and how they have changed
• Historical interpretation
• Historical enquiry
• Organisation and communication

We endeavour to develop these skills through a variety of ways:

• Educational visits to support our topics
• Visiting speakers
• Themed days
• Role play/re-enactments

To support our learning, we have a wealth of resources, including books, artefacts, photographs, paintings, DVDs, costumes, log books and websites. We also welcome additional resources and artefacts brought in to support our topics.

We ensure that children are given a range of experiences and opportunities.

Curriculum Development

We have been working in teams across the Futura Learning Partnership to create a shared curriculum for all schools to use across a range of subjects. The document for History can be found here.

 Please find our Geography and History Handbook here.
