Primary Beginning Interest History

Our Curriculum

Our primary history curriculum develops students' understanding of historical events and their timelines alongside the effects of the past on the present. Students will acquire a chronological understanding and be able to recognise the key achievements of the earliest civilisations. Our curriculum focuses on developing students' understanding of continuity and change and the methods of historical enquiry, including evidence-based claims.

​

Our curriculum enables students to enhance their understanding of cultural, social, and moral development as they reflect on the build-up to key events and the effects afterwards on societies, economies, and environments.
