INTENT
Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change , the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups , as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
1. A cross-school group of staff will revise, revisit and present a curriculum pedagogy update of key features to support effective learning. This will help cement into staff long term memory. 2. Further develop the use and review of ‘teacher toolbox’ pedagogy choices leading to high levels of consistency and good progress for all. This will lead to a revised version of Abbey’s ‘Steps to success’ that teachers will articulate their choices within and across learning sequences. 3. Develop and sharpen staff knowledge of the curricula disciplinary knowledge so that the overarching aims of the national curriculum are strengthened; EYFS curriculum will strengthen preparedness for KS1.
