History

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall.” – Confucius

Through our knowledge-rich curriculum, year groups progress from studying recent local history to the history of Britain (history within their lifetime, the 80s, WW1, Victorian Britain, etc) and then are given opportunities to look at world history comparing significant European and non-European civilisations.

Each topic has been specifically chosen to further develop children’s knowledge of how the current world was shaped, with each year group travelling further back in time.

Each topic is framed with an enquiry and include questions that challenge stereotypical narratives of history. This helps prepare children to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments and develop perspective and judgement. Children will present their knowledge through a carousel of activities to demonstrate the different components of knowledge they have acquired.
