All pupils in Key Stage 3 will have one lesson of history per week. Through these lessons pupils will build on and deepen their chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history.
The topics for study follow a chronological sequence, beginning with the Norman Conquest in 1066 and culminating with perhaps the most significant event in world history, World War 2.
Our team of specialist historians have developed an engaging and challenging curriculum to enable our pupils to learn about history but more importantly to learn from key historical figures, significant events and the consequences of these.
Each unit of work includes a mid- point written assessment that will enable staff to monitor progress and identify any gaps in learning. A final assessment will be completed at the end of each unit and the lesson following the assessment will provide dedicated improvement and reflection time to enable pupils to reflect on their learning and make improvements to maximise progress.
Staff will also use ongoing formative assessment throughout the lessons to continually monitor the progress of students. This will include giving personalised written and oral feedback to pupils on a regular basis.
