History

Picture
At Ashby Hill Top, we have designed our History curriculum to ignite our children’s curiosity about the past and on the development of the children’s specific historical skills and knowledge. This is taught through a topic-based approach and by giving the children hands on experience wherever possible.  

Our teaching of History equips our children with knowledge about the history of Britain, significant aspects of the history of the wider world, the lives of significant people from the past, and changes in living memory. In understanding this, our children will gain cultural capital and have a greater appreciation of today’s world and their place in it. We want to teach children how to ask and answer questions about the past through an enquiry-based approach, developing their inquisitive minds and giving them the opportunities, through many different topics, to help them to love learning about History. 

The intent of our History curriculum ensures that all pupils: 

  • Think critically and develop their own opinions and judgements on what they learn about the past 
  • Discover connections between the History they learn and the wider community today, helping them appreciate diversity in the modern world and their place within it 
  • Can talk about past and present events in their lives and the lives of others 
  • Can see the impact of change by discussing similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things 
  • Understand the methods of historical enquiry, enabling them to draw conclusions based on a range of evidence
