During KS3 pupils will find out about the history of their community, Britain, Europe and the world. They will develop a chronological overview that will enable them to make connections within and accross different periods and societies.
The current National Curriculum requires pupils to develop an understanding of six key concepts:
- Chronological understanding
- Cultural, ethnic and religious diversity
- Change and continuity
- Cause and consequence
- Significance
- Interpretation
and learn the key processes of:
- Historical enquiry
- Using evidence
- Communicating about the past
At Hartismere pupils will build up an understanding of the periods, concepts and processes being studied by revisiting five themes at regular intervals over three years:
- Conflict
- Power and politics
- Life of ordinary people
- Movement, settlement and Empire
- Ideas and beliefs
