Curriculum Intent
The History curriculum prepares our students to be the voice of their future. This is achieved through a broad and balanced history curriculum and strong teacher subject practice which is tailored to support students as they develop knowledge, key concepts and skills so they can confidently have the scope to ask critical questions, weigh up evidence, review arguments and develop their own opinions and judgements.
