Our History Curriculum

At Medstead, our learning in history is based on the Kapow Primary History scheme of work. This aims to inspire pupils to be curious and creative thinkers who develop a knowledge of local and national history and the history of the wider world. We want our pupils to develop the confidence to think critically, ask questions, and be able to explain and analyse historical evidence. We aim to build an awareness of significant events and individuals in global, British and local history and recognise how things have changed over time. We want our pupils to develop an understanding of how the past has impacted our present and how it will continue to affect our futures. The scheme aims to support pupils in building their understanding of chronology in each year group, making connections over periods of time and developing a chronologically-secure knowledge of History. We hope to develop pupils’ understanding of how historians study the past and construct accounts and the skills to carry out their own historical enquiries.
