History

• Intent: We nurture children’s curiosity about the past, helping them understand how people lived and how events have shaped the world. We want children to see themselves as historians who can ask questions, explore evidence and build a sense of identity.

  Implementation: History is taught through Cornerstones projects, using stories, artefacts, visits and role-play to bring the past to life. Children learn chronology, cause and consequence, and how to compare the past with the present.

  Impact: Pupils enjoy history, can talk about significant people and events, and begin to think critically about evidence. They make connections between past and present, and are well-prepared for KS2 history.
