Please click link below for an overview of History across the school:
At The Glebe Primary School, we recognise that history can often appear as an abstract concept to many children. To address this challenge, our curriculum is designed to be both engaging and comprehensive, combining substantive (historical facts and events) and disciplinary (historical enquiry and interpretation) knowledge. This approach ensures that our pupils are equipped with the necessary tools to contextualise their historical learning, both broadly and specifically.
We teach history in chronological order to provide a clear framework that helps the children develop a strong sense of time, sequence and cause and effect. This approach enables pupils to make logical connections between historical periods, understanding how past events have shaped the present. Through regular opportunities to revisit prior learning, students build a deeper understanding of historical contexts and concepts over time. Our curriculum encourages pupils to revisit prior learning, facilitating an understanding of the varying natures and contexts of historical concepts.
We aspire to instil in our children a lasting enthusiasm for history, fostering a desire to continue learning beyond the classroom. This passion for the past will assist them in understanding not only the world they inhabit today but also the rich tapestry of history that has shaped it.
