History

History at KINS

Here is a condensed overview of what History looks like at Killamarsh Infant and Nursery School. For a more detailed insight into the Intent, Implementation and Impact of Art and design please refer to the subject policy.

Intent

This History that is taught at Killamarsh Infant and Nursery School aims to inspire pupils to be curious and creative thinkers who develop a complex knowledge of local and national history and the history of the wider world. We want pupils to develop the confidence to think critically, ask questions, and be able to explain and analyse historical evidence. We ensure coverage of the curriculum and early years framework through the use of the Kapow Primary scheme of work.

Implementation

The Kapow Primary scheme emphasises the importance of historical knowledge being shaped by disciplinary approaches, as shown in the diagram above. These strands are interwoven through all the History units to create engaging and enriching learning experiences which allow the children to investigate history as historians do.

Impact

The impact of Kapow Primary’s scheme can be constantly monitored through both formative and summative assessment opportunities. Each lesson includes guidance to support teachers in assessing pupils against the learning objectives. Furthermore, each unit has a skill catcher and knowledge assessment quiz which can be used at the end of the unit to provide a summative assessment.

After their time at Killamarsh Infant & Nursery school pupils will leave school equipped with a range of skills to enable them to succeed in their further education. They will be enquiring learners who ask questions and can make suggestions about where to find the evidence to answer the question. They will be critical and analytical thinkers who are able to make informed and balanced judgements based on their knowledge of the past.
