Curriculum intent

Curriculum sequence/plan/model:

History – Learning Journey

Curriculum opportunities: Key Stage 3

Curriculum implementation:

As an Academy we have a range of clear standards and expectations of our pupils however each subject area has its own individual practices and habits that ensure that it can function to its optimum.

Curriculum delivery: 

In their History lessons students will develop their knowledge of the past through the content that they learn. Students will learn about the history of Britain but also important events and civilisations from other countries around the world. Students will also spend time developing their historical skill set by interpreting sources, making judgements and analysing links and trends. This will enable them to become successful historians.

Homework:

The shadow curriculum: 

Lessons will be uploaded weekly following the programme of study. Lessons will be mainly PowerPoint lessons with instructions but seneca/blooket may be used too.

For KS4, extra resources to help with the lesson content e.g. documentary clips/useful websites will also be uploaded. Google classroom will also be used as a forum for revision if students have been in the lessons but feel that they need to go over anything. 

Assessments will also be uploaded and modified where necessary. 

If a student misses a lesson it is their responsibility to access their google classroom and catch up on the work they have missed.
