INTENT

At Manor Primary school, through high quality teaching and learning, we will inspire children to be curious about the past and develop an understanding of the complexity of the processes of change and the importance for Britain and the wider world.

IMPLEMENTATION

The aims of the History curriculum will be achieved by:

• Knowing and understanding how Britain has changed over time and how people’s lives and the wider world have shaped these changes.
• Knowing and understanding significant aspects of the history of the wider world.
• Understanding terms such as ‘empire’, ‘civilisation’, ‘parliament’ and ‘peasantry’ through a historically grounded approach.
• Using historical concepts to make and analyse connections through historically valid questions and create structured accounts including written narratives.
• Understanding methods of historical enquiry including how evidence is used.
• Gaining historical perspective by using knowledge of the history curriculum into different contexts.

IMPACT

We will measure impact of this through:

• Monitoring of the curriculum
• Book/planning scrutinies
• Learning walks
• End of unit assessments
• End of year assessments
