History

 History Vision
History is everywhere! From your own family, your local area through to the wider world. It has all been shaped and influenced by what has happened in the past. We learn history so that we can better understand the world in which we live and how we can affect the future.  

How we learn History
At Hujjat Primary School we believe that children should be curious to learn about the past and develop skills to critically analyse and interpret evidence so they see themselves as ‘Historians’. Through high-quality history lessons we aim to encourage deeper level thinking, as well as helping the children to gain a sense of their own identity. Teaching of history is enhanced through our commitment to giving children experiences, trips and visitors that help to bring history to life and foster a desire to find out more.

How we deliver the Curriculum 

We follow the Early Years Framework and National Curriculum for History and as a school, we have developed our own progression of historical skills and key vocabulary. From the Early Years, children learn about their own personal history, family and communities and this knowledge is built upon and forms the foundation of their understanding of history. As the children move through the school, they develop their chronological understanding, enquiry and knowledge of the significant people, places and periods studied. They start to interpret evidence, critically analyse, question the reliability of the sources and learn to organise and communicate their learning.
