History Curriculum

Intent

To understand the way the past impacts upon the future and how sources and artefacts influence viewpoints

Implementation

• An ambitious progressive skills map of key events and people from history
• A chronological framework of events and people
• Questioning bias and source material
• Following lines of enquiry (past in context of present)

Impact

• Children are able to respond to historical sources and artefacts, building their knowledge of historical concepts. 
• Children are able to question the bias of source material and consider the impact of this on their own perspective
• Children are able to reflect on contemporary global issues in relation to significant events and periods studied.
• Children can use knowledge organisers to support their understanding of significant events and people, and refer to these during independent work.
