History

Intent:

In St Anne’s, we shape our curriculum to ensure it is fully inclusive to every child. We strive to INSPIRE all children by immersing them into the history of Britain and how it has influenced and has been influenced by the wider world.

Implementation:

In St Anne’s Catholic Primary School through the support of specialist teaching we will ensure that all pupils fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for History; providing a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum that encompasses the British Values throughout; ensuring the progressive development of historical concepts, knowledge and skills. We implement this through the progressive curriculum that is supported by the Rising Stars Voyagers scheme of work, Plan Bee scheme and the Historical Association to support the delivery of enquiry.  We ‘speak History’ in everything we do. We use the language of History to inspire our other topics. We use the golden threads ‘significance and legacy’, ‘travel and exploration’ and ‘arts and architecture’ from EYFS to Y6 to embed the historical concepts, knowledge and skills. We used the golden threads to inspire our children to make links between periods of History.

Impact:

The impact and measure of this is to ensure that children leave St Anne’s equipped with historical skills and knowledge that enable them to be ready at KS3 and in later adult life. We know in St Anne’s that the more children know about life in the past, the better equipped they are for the future. We want the children to have thoroughly enjoyed learning History, therefore encouraging them to undertake new life experiences now and in the future.

The History Lead is Miss Williams.
