History

Our history curriculum for KS1-KS2 follows three main themes: Conflict and Resolution, Explorers and Pioneers and Ancient Civilisations.

About this curriculum

There is an expectation that children will use their prior learning and build upon this as they journey through Eden Park. Children will reach an end point where their understanding of history has been strengthened and deepened through this purposefully mapped out curriculum. 

In Early Years, children would encounter History through ‘Understanding of the World’; using key events in the calendar allows EYFS children to gain some awareness of historical and cultural events. Year 1 builds on this prior learning and extends it through their fieldwork studies and deepened understanding of chronology and events beyond living memory. The EYFS curriculum is mindful of how their curriculum can be used to create the foundations of prior knowledge which we build upon as children journey through Year 1 and KS1.
