Intent of History

Intent

Our high-quality history curriculum is a coherent and sequential framework which is ‘rooted in the local with eyes on the global’. It will equip children with a diverse and complex knowledge of British History and History of the Wider World.

We will encourage and foster:

• A strong focus on chronology and historical knowledge
• Critical thinking, at ease with difference, with the ability to ask perceptive questions, explain and analyse evidence using second order concepts
• Growing knowledge of primary source use and interpretations and representations of the past
• A pride in and understanding of our community’s history and heritage

An understanding of the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change and the diversity of societies through history.
