Our history and geography topics are alternated with each other and a half-term of science and artist themed topics to create a rich and stimulating curriculum.

The history topics are linked across year groups, with children learning more about British and world history as they move through the school. Key concepts are built on and expanded as children learn more, with their procedural knowledge also developing through engaging practical activities using a range of historical sources.

We kick off our topics with ‘immersion days’ where pupils build up a bank of knowledge and explore their new topic through fun, creative activities. The school has established relationships with museums and other organisations in London ensuring exciting visits and high quality workshops are built into the school calendar.

Each history topic has a ‘key learning question’, which is introduced to children at the start of the topic and is returned to in subsequent lessons. At the end of the half-term children complete a piece of work responding to the question and demonstrating their understanding using all they have learned through the topic.
