History
At Broughton Community Schools we aim to produce inquisitive, perceptive historians who understand their own past and that of the world they live in.
Our history topics are taught through an enquiry approach and each lesson within a topic builds children’s skills and knowledge to enable them to confidently answer the overarching enquiry question. Through artefacts and question led learning, our children will learn about famous people and places, as well as global events in history. The History Curriculum empowers learners to become curious, to develop their own opinions based on a respect for evidence and to build a deeper understanding of the present by engaging with and questioning the past. Skills will show progression from early years through to the end of key stage two. The history curriculum will be embedded into the Cornerstones curriculum.

The Creative Curriculum has been organised through a ‘topic based’ approach which incorporates the key skills set out in the New National Curriculum (2014). The use of Computing is encouraged in all topic areas as a subject in its own right and in both the teaching of the topic and in the opportunities for children’s independent learning. Each class teacher is responsible for the delivery of the Creative Curriculum. The projects last for a term with at least four sessions a week.
How can you support your children at home?
Each term, you will receive a year group newsletter which will outline the topic that your child will be investigating. There will also be a task sheet with suggested activities to complete for home learning.
History is all around us! Aylesbury is full of history. There are monuments in the town centre and museums to explore and not forgetting the amazing museums in London. The Horrible History clips also give children a fun insight into the different time periods in history.
