History statement of intent
As historians, pupils will demonstrate a chronological understanding of British History and its place within global history; developing an understanding of the significance of how the past affects us and use this to influence the future.
Through the use of three substantive concepts power, trade and society pupils will be able to discuss different periods of time, considering the differences and similarities between historical periods.
Through the development of critical thinking skills be able to interpret historical evidence considering the accuracy of different sources, selecting and organizing historical information about different aspects of periods studied.
Strong links with literacy; the wider curriculum and enrichment opportunities enable pupils to become absorbed within historical periods.
