At Little Heath, we participate in a bespoke and personalised curriculum which reflects the heritage of the city we now call home. The Little Heath history curriculum intends to follow the needs and interest of the school whilst maintaining a broad and rich theme in line with the National Curriculum. The curriculum enables the skills required as a historian and provides a narrative that enriches all pupil experiences studying the past. The curriculum will give children the opportunity to explore history on a local and global scale and help to understand the significance of looking at the past.
As Historians we will:
• Develop our understanding of chronology
• Learn to ask and respond to historical questions
• Understand how sources can be used to tell us about the past.
• Learn about significant people and events and their impact on modern life
• Understand reasons for continuity and change
We follow the National Curriculum at Little Heath Primary School.
At Little Heath Primary School, we prioritise the development of vocabulary as part of our commitment to supporting every child's learning journey. We understand that building a rich vocabulary is key to academic success and communication. Our curriculum is designed to ensure steady progression, helping students expand their vocabulary, improve language skills, and apply them. Below, you will find the relevant documents that outline our approach to vocabulary development and skills progression within History.
