Our History Curriculum
Please see the documents below to understand our History aims, learning journey and planned progression along with an idea of the historical figures/events studied.
Knowledge and Skills Organisers
For each unit of work, pupils are provided with a unit organiser which summarises the core learning and vocabulary. Key questions are also included to indicate the sorts of things they should know by the end of the unit.
Our pupil unit organisers are designed to provide a broad overview of the learning – they offer a point of reference, for pupils, as they progress through each unit of work. They are not a substitute for the ongoing teaching and dialogue which is required throughout the unit.

Whole School Commemorations
As well as the units covered in our history curriculum, we are keen to ensure our pupils become global citizens with an understanding of relevant historical events and how they impact on our day to day life. Over the last few years, this has included whole school lessons, activities and events covering:
- Remembrance Day (annually)
- VE Day 75th Anniversary
- Queen’s Platinum Jubilee & Passing
- Coronation of King Charles
- Black History Month 2023
