History at Probus School
At Probus School, we aim to establish, develop and nurture our children and develop a love for learning about history. We achieve this by providing a motivating and varied curriculum, which covers local, national and international topics.
Developing a sense of chronology is important to us; through this, the children are able to increase their understanding of how the world has changed over time. Attention is given to ensuring that children understand how events in the past have influenced our lives today.We give attention to children building knowledge through out the cuurriculum but also develop skills which allow children to better interpret the past.
The history curriculum begins in Early Years classrooms, where they develop a sense of past by discussing changes over time. In Key Stage 1, children study a rnage of events and people within living memoery and beyond.
The curriculum in KS2 is structured chronologically so that pupils gain a strong sense of previous time periods and can locate learning through the journey through their school careers. Lessons are structured consistanntely with tasks and learning inputs design with congitive load theory in mind.
