Our Curriculum – History

'All individuals matter' 

At Winchelsea Primary School, we aim to deliver a broad history curriculum through the following means:

• Enable pupils to develop their capabilities and the understanding required for future historical studies
• Ensure that children will have a good understanding of the overall chronology of both British and world history
• Recognise the approximate time span that each individual topic covers
• Foster and develop a curiosity for historical events
• Challenge the misconception that history is not relevant in this modern, technological age

We follow the history programs of study outlined in the National Curriculum 2014 (updated) document. As class teachers we:

• Present a rich and diverse account of British and world history
• Create opportunities for meaningful cross-curricular links
• Provide a range of immersive lesson ideas
• Attempt to make links to our local area wherever possible
• Aim to utilise external organisations for field trips or visits to our school
