History

At Southey Green, we aim for a high quality history curriculum which inspires pupils’ curiosity and fascination about Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Topics are informed by the national curriculum and are sensitive to children’s interests, as well as the context of the local area. The history curriculum at Southey Green is carefully planned and structured to ensure that current learning is linked to previous learning.

History is taught in an immersive way throughout our school and we use experiences and real artefacts in order to bring the learning to life such as visits to Eden Camp and Viking days within school. Wherever possible, we make links to other areas of the curriculum such as English and Maths.
