History Curriculum

History Curriculum

Intent

It is the intention of our history curriculum to encourage pupils to become curious about the past and how it has shaped the world they live in. Together we develop the minds and learning skills of our young historians, by nurturing and developing pupils’ abilities to analyse different sources of information to help them understand diversity throughout time and explore how the past has influenced the present and future. 

We transport pupils back in time to significant events which helps them develop a greater understanding of local, British, and global history. The history curriculum enables pupils to understand about past civilisations and explore how Britain and the world has changed over time. Pupils gain knowledge about the social, moral and cultural changes throughout time and use this knowledge to reflect on the similarities and differences of historic civilisations. 

Implementation

The ‘History’ aspect of the curriculum is taught as part of the Nurture Centres thematic approach taken from the ‘Cornerstone Curriculum’.

The Cornerstones Curriculum has a creative and thematic approach delivered through Knowledge Rich Projects (KRP) which provide a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of our student’s learning. Each termly or half-termly topic has a lead subject, with its focus generally coming from either a Geography or History.

As part of their learning Students will progress through four distinct stages of learning in each KRP

Impact

The History element of the curriculum complements the Social Awareness aspects of the Nurture Centre’s core curriculum and helps provide a social context to development and learning.
It is intended that students will develop a broader knowledge and deeper understanding of each individual curriculum area as outlined in units of work.


The overall intended impact of the History Curriculum is to support our pupils to; 

- Be able to appreciate diverse perspectives -
- Be able to understand relationships -
- Be able to contribute to society -
