Intent:

We want our children to gain a coherent understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Our curriculum should inspire children’s curiosity to know more about the past. Children should think critically using sources of evidence to support their opinion. They should understand how people’s lives have changed, how diverse societies were, and the challenges that were faced. 

To ensure this knowledge is retained we have carefully planned the knowledge we want the children to learn and when we want them to learn it. The knowledge taught is progressive across the primary phase (in partnership with Widcombe Infant School) and it makes links and connections within and outside of the subject domain. 

We have chosen key historical concepts to derive our chosen knowledge from.
