At Seaton Sluice First School, our History curriculum is designed to inspire children’s curiosity about the past and develop a deep understanding of how British and world history have shaped the world we live in today. To deliver a rich and cohesive historical education, we proudly follow the United Curriculum across both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
The United Curriculum provides a highly structured, knowledge-rich framework that allows our pupils to build a strong chronological understanding. Through engaging, evidence-based lessons, children learn to think like historians. They explore a diverse range of historical eras, societies, and significant individuals, analyzing primary and secondary sources to ask perceptive questions, think critically, and weigh evidence. By connecting past events to the modern world, our history curriculum helps pupils develop a sense of identity, a respect for diverse cultures, and a lasting fascination with the past.
