History
History at Kingsway
At Kingsway our children receive a broad and ambitious History curriculum, grounded in the enquiry into events and peoples of Great Britain, Europe and The Americas. In Year 3, children learn about the Stone Age, moving through time to explore World War One in Year 6. By the end of the Key Stage, pupils have an in depth understanding of the 'Big Ideas' shown below and are able to make links and comparisons between events throughout time.
Trips or visitors into school each half term allow all children to share a real life experience, further enhancing their understanding and knowledge of the unit of learning. Key concepts are presented to pupils clearly through a chronological curriculum, knowledge mats, revisiting previously learnt skills, quizzes, cross-curricular learning and real life experiences. Our curriculum is constantly evolving to ensure diversity, so that all children see themselves represented in their learning. Children at Kingsway leave Year 6 ready for secondary school with a broad, rich and coherent understanding of the history of Great Britain and the wider world.
