history intent
At Field End Junior School our aim is to provide a high-quality history education that will help children gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We promote a love of history and believe we can all be historians. Children will become critical thinkers, asking perceptive questions, investigate sources and broaden their knowledge of key events in History.
Our curriculum enables children to develop a secure mental timeline which makes knowledge easier to learn.
We aim to help children understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups. Children gain a sense of their own identity within a social, political, cultural and economic background.
In history we provide a progressive and sequential curriculum across the school which allows children the opportunity to develop their skills of enquiry, investigation and analysis.
