History at Nafferton Primary School
The subject leader for History is Miss Brown.
Our history curriculum at Nafferton Primary School aims to promote curiosity and a love of learning about the past. We want all our pupils to become skillful historians who leave Nafferton Primary School with a secure knowledge about British, local and world history.
Our bespoke curriculum is planned over a two-year cycle and each term a different history unit is studied. Each unit of work has an emphasis on historical enquiry and pupils study a range of cultures and historical perspectives enabling them to be respectful, tolerant and empathic. Pupils also study significant individuals or events from diverse backgrounds. Local history is woven into our curriculum to ensure pupils have a rich understanding of their local heritage. Our pupils will learn what it means to be a Historian by providing opportunities to explore through research; explorative visits and hands on experiences. Our history units of work are taught alongside thematically linked texts during English lessons.
