  • History

    History is the study of the past through exploring primary and secondary sources of evidence. History helps make sense of particular events, time periods or groups of people and how they influence the present.

    Vision

    Through a high-quality history curriculum, pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain's past and that of the wider world. It inspires pupils' curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching equips pupils to ask perceptive questions and think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. Pupils understand the historical complexity of people's lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies, and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.

    Intent

    • For pupils to remember key historical facts.
    • Pupils to use historical knowledge and facts to develop rich and complex schemas to understand the narrative of the past and how the past has shaped the present.
    • Develop and understanding of how historians approach making sense of the past.
    • Prepare pupils for future historical learning and careers beyond Malin Bridge.
