History - Curriculum Intent
At Tickford Park Primary School our aim is to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum in history to ensure that the teaching and learning of history is inclusive to every child and to make it an enjoyable subject, which children would like to continue once leaving our school. This is achieved by making sure planning is differentiated and learning is catered for through a broad and balanced objectives and where possible linked to children’s interests. We feel it is also important to develop knowledge and skills, relating learning to pupils own experiences, including familiar concepts such as the celebration of history in their own local area.
Through linking learning across a variety of topics, children have the opportunity to investigate and interpret the past, understand chronology, build an overview of Britain’s past as well as the wider world and know what a historian should look like.
At Tickford Park Primary School, we feel that it is important for children to gain ‘real-life’ experiences, and inspire pupil’s curiosity and fascination about history. This is done through arranging class trips, visitors coming into school, handling real life artefacts and developing skills of enquiry, investigation and problem solving.
To ensure high quality history curriculum is being taught, lessons are planned to demonstrate progressions of knowledge and skills, which are included in the long term plans. By the end of year 6, as historians, children will learn lessons from history to influence the decisions they make in their lives and future.
