History at Knop Law

History is the study of the past, in particular the changes over time, that have occurred within human society.

Our history curriculum is inspiring, engaging, and relevant to all pupils. It immerses them in thought-provoking topics that ignite curiosity about the past. By exploring significant people, events, and civilisations on local, national, and international levels, pupils gain a broad understanding of how history has shaped the world they live in today. We aim to inspire and motivate pupils to understand their place in history and make sense of the world around them.

Our history curriculum promotes chronological understanding, encourages pupils to ask critical questions about the past, analyse evidence, and appreciate different perspectives. We place a strong emphasis on developing key historical skills, including historical enquiry and critical thinking, alongside fostering an understanding of important concepts such as change and continuity, cause and consequence, and the use of evidence. The curriculum is carefully planned to build progressively on prior knowledge, skills, and vocabulary, ensuring that children know more and remember more as they advance. Through a variety of classroom experiences and opportunities for firsthand learning, including school visits and guest speakers, our pupils leave with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to excel in Key Stage 3 and beyond.
