Humanities

Vision

Our humanities is knowledge-rich and progressively sequenced so that learners have the opportunity to develop a life-long passion for the humanities. Through exploration and story-telling children will develop an understanding of ‘humankind’ and their place within it.

Rationale

The choices we have made within our humanities curriculum will allow children to develop an overarching view of the world and an understanding of the fundamental concepts of place and time, including their place within this.

Programme

We follow the National Curriculum and have sequenced the subject content meticulously to best suit the needs of our children and to compliment effective learning strategies. This is delivered in key stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) through our Mendip Green curriculum and in key stage 2 (Year 3 to Year 6) through Opening Worlds. These curriculums include progressions of skills and/or knowledge to support teaching and learning.
