Intent
At Grange Park, in history, we aim to stimulate all children’s interest and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past. We teach children a sense of chronology and to discover links and connections to the History they learn. Children at Grange Park develop their knowledge and explanations of change and continuity over time, and, by considering how people lived in the past, they are better able to make their own life choices today. We teach them to investigate past events and, by doing so, develop the skills of enquiry, analysis, interpretation and problem-solving.

They will also have a further understanding of history on a local level and on a small-scale. Children will become increasingly critical and analytical with their thinking, making informed and balanced judgements based on their knowledge in the past. Children will develop enquiry skills to pursue their own interests within a topic and further questioning. The end of key stage content is known and built upon through school. This is measured by:
