Curriculum

History

Intent

The intent of our History curriculum is to deliver a curriculum which fulfils the duties of the National Curriculum but is also purposeful and relevant to the children at Grove Lea Primary. Our intent is to ensure that history is accessible to all and that it will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. As a result of this they will be able to:

  • Increase and develop their historical skills, concepts, knowledge and attitudes.
  • Increase their understanding of the present in the context of the past.
  • Develop and use their skills in enquiry, analysis, evaluation, and argument.
  • Develop their interest in the past, arousing their curiosity and motivation to learn
  •  Develop a sense of identity through learning about the past
Implementation

To implement the history curriculum we review and evaluate the knowledge and skills each year. This ensures that we have a: clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum.

The History National Curriculum and EYFS is planned for and covered in full within the EYFS, KS1 and KS2 school curriculum. Whilst the EYFS and National Curriculum forms the foundation of our curriculum, we make sure that children learn additional skills, knowledge and understanding and enhance our curriculum as and when necessary.

Impact
  • Children will know more, remember more and understand more about History.
  • Children will understand and use the key skills of chronological understanding, Knowledge and understanding of events in the past, Historical interpretation, Historical enquiry and organisation and communication.
  • The large majority of children will achieve age related expectations in History.
  • As historians children will learn lessons from history to influence the decisions they make in their lives in the future.
  • They may even consider being a historian as a career.
