History at Marlfields
Miss Stubbs is our History Champion.
Our Marlfields Historians are inquisitive and deep thinkers. They ask questions about the past to form strong learning, which they can link to the impact on the society they live in today. Our Historians have the confidence to critically discuss events from the past and will form their own opinions on these. To read more about our curriculum intent, please click on the link below:
If you would like to see how History develops across the school, take a look at our Marlfields Progressive History Curriculum below.
We teach History in a consistent and carefully sequenced way across the school. Each lesson begins by identifying that it is a History lesson, where we learn about the past, and by recapping prior learning, helping children connect new knowledge to what they already know. This ensures learning is progressive and builds towards each lesson’s objective. Our lesson flow is followed in every class to provide clarity, structure and continuity.
Marlfields History Lesson Flow
Key historical vocabulary has been mapped out for every year group and each topic. This language is taught explicitly to support our budding historians in understanding new concepts with confidence. Important vocabulary from previous years is revisited whenever it is needed to access new learning, ensuring children develop a strong and secure history-specific vocabulary as they move through school.
