At Nutgrove, our aim is for our history curriculum to develop independent thinkers, who are excited and inspired by the past.

By the end of Year 6, we want our children to be able to use a wide range of historical sources to ask and answer questions about the past and be able to understand the limitations of different types of resources so that our learners are prepared for the challenges of Key Stage 3.

Our curriculum enables children to develop a chronological understanding of British history from the Stone Age to the present day. They will have had opportunities to draw comparisons with the achievements of the earliest civilizations and study the influence of Ancient Greece on the wider world.

Children will have an understanding and perspective about our locality and some of the challenges and achievements that have shaped the local area in which we live.

We measure the impact of our history curriculum through monitoring work, listening to the children’s attitudes about history through pupil voice, by taking learning walks and data analysis.
