History
At Chapelhill Primary, we want every child to develop a secure understanding of the past and see themselves as young historians who can question, interpret and learn from history. Our History curriculum follows the National Curriculum in England and is delivered through the Kapow Primary scheme of learning, building pupils’ knowledge of British, local and world history alongside key historical skills.
The curriculum is taught through a carefully sequenced two-year rolling programme, ensuring progression from Year 1 to Year 6. Pupils develop their understanding of chronology, historical enquiry and important concepts such as cause and consequence, change and significance. Learning begins with personal and local history in Key Stage 1 and progresses to analysing sources, considering different perspectives and using precise historical vocabulary in Key Stage 2.
We aim for pupils to leave Chapelhill Primary with a clear understanding of historical timelines and the ability to interpret evidence and explain why events happened, enabling them to think critically about the past and its impact on the present.
