History
Subject Key Objective Progression & Development by Year Groups
The following is a guide to help you understand your child’s progression through school.
All lessons are differentiated. This means teachers plan activities that enable the objective to be learned by all children including those who will find the objective challenging, those children who with hard work will secure good progress and those children who can tackle extra stretch and challenge in this subject.
Intent, Implementation and Impact
The curriculum is designed with our pupils and the Swinemoor community in mind.
It enables children to access and enhance their understanding of their home, their town and the wider community, developing their cultural capital and giving them opportunities and choices about their future and their impact as they progress through their school career and beyond.
This will help them become successful members of modern British society, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities.

Children will produce a piece of portfolio work, demonstrating their knowledge and understanding.
They will participate in a sequence of lessons with a historical focus, producing a range of evidence including written work, role play and reflective dialogue.
What knowledge will the children have embedded?
Children will be able to recall specific historical events, appropriate to age.
