History Intent
At Colburn Community Primary School, our intent is to deliver an aspirational history curriculum that prepares pupils for the next step in their education alongside developing a lifelong passion for history.
Topics are informed by the 2014 national curriculum and are related to children’s interests as well as the history of the local area, ensuring pupils have access to; engaging, creative and inspirational learning. We aim for all pupils to be; inquisitive and critical thinkers by drawing contrasts, sifting arguments, asking historical questions and interpreting a range of sources. Through the teaching of history, we want pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identify and challenges of their time.
