Within History, we strive to create a supportive and collaborative ethos for learning by providing investigative and enquiry based learning opportunities. Emphasis is placed on investigative learning opportunities to help children gain a coherent knowledge of understanding of each unit of work covered throughout the school.
Through high quality-first teaching of History, we will see the impact of the subject in different ways through practical and written mediums. Through pupil voice, children will be able to talk about the skills and knowledge they have acquired and we will see children engaged in History lessons and wanting to find out more. Children will complete research independently through projects and homework and to further their own enjoyment about the subject or topic. The work produced will show that a range of topics are being covered, cross curricular links are made where possible and differentiated work is set as appropriate. The school environment will be history rich through displays, resources and vocabulary.
As historians, children will learn lessons from history to influence the decisions they make in their lives in the future. Assessments and monitoring will show standards in History will be high and will match standards in other subject areas.
