Curriculum Vision
Through History, every student will have access to a knowledge based curriculum giving the opportunity to develop their understanding of British and wider history. Through studying History, students will be given the keys to unlock the world around them and allow them to access all that the world has to offer to ensure that every student has the opportunity to achieve their ambition and will be able to show respect for themselves, their peers and people from different cultures. History will also provide students the opportunity to develop their own voice to comment on the world and key global issues, taking pride in their values and world viewpoint.
We want our students to:
- Have an understanding of a wide range of historical topics covering; different time periods, geographical areas and branches
- Become curious and enquiring both about the past and the world around them today
- Form strong opinions of their own about the difference between right and wrong and how we can apply those concepts to the modern world
- Improve their literacy and range of vocabulary
- Encourage students to build cultural capital and encourage them to support British Values
