History
History is ordering events in time; finding differences and similarities; writing and talking about the past; using different sources for information; asking and answering questions.
Vision for History (Intent)
Pupil’s will acquire an expanding knowledge along with an understanding of the big ideas and processes of history. Our curriculum seeks for pupils to have an increasingly mature and informed historical perspective, focusing on our locality, Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Through the curriculum, we seek to inspire pupil’s curiosity to know more about the past, preparing them to ask historically valid questions and gain an understanding through historical enquiry. Our aim is that the children are equipped with skills and knowledge that will enable them to develop an enquiring mind as well as understand the impact of how history has shaped our lives.
At ECSTG our history curriculum is planned to be progressive in chronological learning so that pupil’s build knowledge of how each phase of historical time has impacted the next. This is achieved through a progressive, spiral approach. In addition, it enables pupils to consider how these developments have, and continue to impact our lives today.

National Curriculum Aims
The National Curriculum for History aims to ensure that all pupils:
- know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world
- know and understand significant aspects of the history of the wider world: the nature of ancient civilisations; the expansion and dissolution of empires; characteristic features of past non-European societies; achievements and follies of mankind gain and deploy a historically grounded understanding of abstract terms such as ‘empire’, ‘civilisation’, ‘parliament’ and ‘peasantry’
- understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, and use them to make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically-valid questions and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives and analyses
- understand the methods of historical enquiry, including how evidence is used rigorously to make historical claims, and discern how and why contrasting arguments and interpretations of the past have been constructed
- gain historical perspective by placing their growing knowledge into different contexts, understanding the connections between local, regional, national and international history; between cultural, economic, military, political, religious and social history; and between short- and long-term timescales.
