​History Curriculum Intent Statement for Iver Village Junior School
 
At Iver Village Junior School, our History curriculum is designed to create historians who are inquisitive learners, adept at putting pieces of the past together to understand how we arrived at our present. Through our curriculum, pupils will be inspired to research historical events, explore the lives of people in the past, and prepare themselves for the challenges of the 21st Century. Our historians will develop a deep understanding of different periods of British History and world civilizations, while honing their skills in analysing diverse sources of information.
Our History curriculum is vital as it equips pupils with the skills and knowledge to investigate the past, make connections to the present, and develop a curiosity for learning. By studying History, pupils learn to think critically, evaluate evidence, and communicate their findings effectively.
Our intent for History aligns seamlessly with our school's ethos of Believe, Achieve, Succeed together, fostering a collaborative environment where pupils are encouraged to explore, question, and grow together as historians.
Building upon prior knowledge and skills, our History curriculum provides a solid foundation for future learning by introducing students to key historical concepts, events, and figures at an age-appropriate level in key stage 2.
History plays a crucial role in our broad and balanced curriculum, enhancing interdisciplinary connections by linking historical events to other subjects such as English, Geography, and Art, fostering a holistic understanding of the world.
Through History, pupils develop critical skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, essential for navigating complex historical narratives and preparing for future academic and professional challenges.
Through History, pupils gain long-term benefits such as a deeper understanding of the past, improved critical thinking skills, and the ability to construct persuasive arguments, preparing them to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Our History curriculum at Iver Village Junior School is designed to inspire a love for learning, cultivate historical inquiry, and empower students to become informed, reflective, and engaged citizens of the future.
At the end of each topic, pupils will complete a subject knowledge snapshot quiz based on the year group's assessment criteria. This will help teachers to identify areas of learning that are secure and areas of development for future teaching.
