We aim to inspire our 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.

At Barnacre Road, we follow the Kapow scheme of work for History. Kapow’s Primary History scheme of work enables pupils to meet the end of Key stage attainment targets in the National curriculum and the aims also align with those set out in the National curriculum. For EYFS, the activities allow pupils to work towards the “Understanding the world” Development matters statements and Early learning goals, while also covering foundational knowledge that will support them in their further history learning in Key stage 1.
