History

At Creswell Nursery and Infant School, we aim to develop children to become independent and evaluative thinkers who have empathy for how others lived.  Children learn about real people and events within the context of Britain and the wider world.  They understand that history influences all of our lives and understand that it shapes the customs and beliefs of the communities to which we belong.  Within our history curriculum, children have the opportunity to ask questions, conduct their own research and work collaboratively.   

History Progression Grid

Our carefully sequenced Progression Grids have been developed by subject leaders at our school.  They outline key knowledge, skills and vocabulary the children will develop in each subject in each year from Nursery to Year 2. These plans are subject to change as we continually hone and develop our curriculum to ensure they are the best they can be to meet the needs of our children.

History - Teaching on a page

At Creswell C of E Infant & Nursery School, we recognise that our pupils learn best when curriculum subjects are taught consistently well across the school, led by subject leaders who support teachers to develop expertise.

 To support staff we have encompassed everything they would need to know on one page. We call these Teaching on a page.

 We hope these documents will also support parents/carers understand how we structure our lessons and what our expectations are for each curriculum lesson. 

History SEND adaptations

We are determined that every child at Creswell C of E Infant and Nursery School will develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, and that they will be enthused and able to take ownership of their own learning.  For all subjects our subject leaders have developed SEND adaptations, which are strategies for supporting children with Special Education needs and Disabilities within lessons.
