Through disciplinary concepts and the acquisition of substantive knowledge, pupils are able to build up a chronological narrative of local, national and global history. 

Pupils will experience a wide variety of opportunities which allow them to follow a line of enquiry to evaluate, interpret, hypothesise and analyse sources and artefacts. This in turn will allow them to draw their own conclusions and create further questions to deepen their understanding and satisfy their curiosity.

Children will begin by studying History within and beyond living memory, and learning about the lives of significant people, places and events through topics such as David Attenborough, The Great Fire of London and Explorers.

As they progress through the curriculum, the more sophisticated skills of comparing civilisations, cause and consequence are taught and embedded. Examples of topics through which these skills are taught are The Achievements of the Earliest Civilisations, Victorian Birmingham and The Influence of Roman Britain on the UK. 

Pupils have the opportunity to engage with visitors who support them in the interpretation of History, and to experience a diverse range of educational visits within the local community and further afield.
