Intent, Implementation and Impact Statement for History
Intent
At St Mary’s C of E Primary, we want our history curriculum to inspire and ignite our pupils’ curiosity to know more about Britain’s past and the wider world. We are dedicated to enhancing children’s knowledge and understanding about the life of people who lived before them as well as educating them about chronology and the process of change. The history curriculum will equip the children to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments and develop perspective and judgment.
Our history curriculum reflects our five school values.

Implementation
History is taught discretely and is blocked throughout the year so children can achieve depth in their learning. Links are made with other subjects in the curriculum when they arise.
Teachers have identified the key knowledge and historical skills to be taught in each topic, in line with the National Curriculum, and consideration has been given to ensure progression across topics and throughout each year group.
Key vocabulary is identified through knowledge organisers, highlighted to children during lessons and revisited through quizzes.
History lessons begin with recall activities to activate and embed prior learning.
A variety of different application activities, which cater for a range of learning styles, are used to develop the historical skills of chronology, knowledge and understanding, enquiry and interpretation.
Children are given opportunities to learn about the past from a range of historical sources and a variety of reference books, and materials accessible through technology. Artefacts are used where possible.
Learning in history is enhanced through a variety of trips and visitors such as the Stone Age living history day which takes place in Year 3.
The local area is fully utilised wherever possible. For example, Year 1 investigate building in the local area, Year 5 visit Sutton Hoo when learning about the Anglo Saxons.
Impact
The impact of our history curriculum can be seen by talking to the children about their interest in this subject and seeing evidence in their books, on learning walls in classrooms and on displays around the school.
Teacher’s use formative assessment methods to identify children’s understanding such as KWI grids, quizzes, PNI grids and discussion. Planned, individual writing opportunities provide an opportunity for the children to communicate what they have learnt t the end of the topic.
Children’s attainment is updated on Target Tracker throughout the year and attainment steps are updated termly. This allows the class teacher and subject lead to monitor the progress of all children across the school.
