History

The History curriculum at Charles Kingsley’s will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world whilst making connections about different time periods. Our aim is to inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past, question sources of evidence, think analytically, examine different points of view and record thoughts on varying perspective and judgement. Through the teaching of History we help 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 challenges of the time; leading to an understanding of how the past has shaped the present and future. Teaching History through our concept driven curriculum, will encourage children to see themselves as historians; Concepts such as, ‘Belonging’, ‘Legacy’ and ‘Consequences’ allow for children to build a love for fact finding and curiosity to want to know more.
