History

Picture
​
Our Intent

Our aim at Lacock Primary School is to encourage our pupils to develop an appreciation, understanding and thirst for knowledge of the past. Our intention is to improve every pupil’s cultural and historical understanding of the world around them and gain a coherent understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world, including their own heritage. Knowledge of local history and heritage are an integral part of our curriculum intent, as it allows our pupils’ to look at what has happened in our local area and then move from the ‘local’ to the ‘national’ and then onto global events.
 
Implementation 

Children are taught key knowledge and skills relating to each national curriculum strand, as appropriate to each key stage: 
  • changes within living memory.
  • events beyond living memory that are significant nationally or globally
  • the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements.
  • significant historical events, people and places in our own locality.
 
History at Lacock Primary School is taught in topics throughout the year. The key knowledge and skills of each topic is taken from our whole school progression maps, which helps to ensure that the content of what children are taught builds on prior teaching and learning. Existing knowledge is checked at the beginning of each topic, through questions and discussions. This ensures that teaching is informed by the children’s starting points and that it takes account of pupil voice and incorporates children’s interests. We maximise cross curricular links particularly within our English curriculum and lessons are designed to provide appropriate challenge to all learners. Learning is supported through the use of knowledge organisers that provide children with an outline of each unit of study and supports them to retain new facts and vocabulary in their long term memory. Knowledge organisers are used for pre-teaching, to support in lessons and to assist in assessment. 
We ensure that our local area is fully utilised, with extensive opportunities to learn about our local history, heritage buildings and the lives of significant individuals. An important day each year is ‘11th February’, which is William Henry Fox Talbot’s birthday, he is often called the founder of photography and lived at Lacock Abbey.
 
Impact

Pupils will learn lessons from history to influence the decisions they make in their lives in the future.
