History

“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”   Martin Luther King

Intent - What are we aiming for?

To enable all children to:

  • Develop a sense of identity through learning about their family, the development of their community, Britain, Europe and the world.
  • Introduce children to what is involved in understanding and interpreting the past.
  • Develop a range of skills necessary for historical enquiry and interpretation.
  • Arouse an interest in the past and an appreciation of human achievement.
  • Understand the present in the light of the past; the influence that events in the past have in shaping the present.
  • Develop children’s knowledge and understanding of major issues and events in the history of their own country and others.
  • Acquire a chronological structure and language in order to provide a framework for understanding the past.
  • Understand the difference between the past and present and that people of other times and places may have held different values and attitudes from ours.
  • Enrich other areas of the curriculum.

The curriculum is designed to develop substantive skills and disciplinary skills that are progressive, as well as transferable, throughout their time at Asfordby Hill Primary and to their further education and beyond.

Implementation - What does this look like?
