History

A high-quality history education will inspire students’ curiosity to know more about the past. We want to give students the knowledge and understanding that is a foundation for them to become active and informed participants in society. Through a variety of experiences, based both in and outside the classroom, students at Little Parndon will have opportunities to engage with the past and see its relevance in the modern day. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time. They will gain the necessary knowledge to understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world. They will develop historical perspective by placing their growing knowledge into different contexts, understanding the connections between local, regional, national and international history. The skills that they master with us will enable them to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. They will also understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance. Students will be able to think critically about information they encounter and make informed decisions about the validity of arguments and contrasting interpretations.

When developing our history curriculum, we thought about the characteristics of our children, the local demographic and where we want the children to be when they leave us – the Little Parndon child. With this in mind we built our curriculum around the tagline “How history has shaped their lives.” From this, we wanted to ensure that we built in diversity, gender equality, close links to other curriculum subjects and a clear progression of skills.

Please see below for the curriculum planning for each year group in KS1 & 2. For how EYFS links into history, please see the EYFS curriculum page.

For more information on History, please contact the school office to arrange a meeting with Mrs Green, our curriculum lead.
