History

Our History curriculum enables children to recognise that studying history is relevant and exciting. They consider how the past influences the present, what past societies were like, how these societies organised themselves, and what beliefs and cultures influenced people’s actions. The children learn about local, British, European and international history, and the historical order in which people lived and events happened.  They are also taught how the past can be shown and explained in different ways.  We aim to provide our children with memorable experiences and our History work is enhanced by educational visits to places of historical and geographical interest.

In order to ensure progression of knowledge and skills, we follow the Kapow scheme for history. This is planned with mixed aged classes in mind and is adapted in content to our school. The progression grids are available to view at school as the documents cannot be published on other websites.
