History

Year 7-11 Curriculum rationale

Curriculum intent: The St John’s History curriculum aims to inspire a curiosity and fascination with Britain and the wider world’s past. We aim to provide our students with the knowledge base and skills of analysis and evaluation needed to recognise the past as set of narratives always open to interpretation and for them to be confident in making judgements of the different interpretations of the past. As they progress through the Curriculum our students should become able to developing their own explanations of the causes, consequences and importance of historical events and their impact on the world today.
