The challenges

The challenges ahead
How are you going to resource the new content?
Where are you going to fit in the extra content you have to teach (9
studies/units /topics instead of 6)?
How are you going to create a coherent key stage plan that
develops children’s chronological understanding across KS2?
Will you still be able to teach the Tudors, Victorians, Britain since
1930?
How are you going to measure children’s progress in history?
Developing schemes …
So how do we organise the content to create
schemes of work that:
• fire pupils' curiosity and imagination
• develop pupils’ understanding of history at personal, local, national and
international levels
• help pupils to ask and answer meaningful questions
about the past
• enable pupils to make connections within and across different periods and
societies?
Studying content in overviews
and depth studies
Overview studies (enquiries)
that enable children to develop a broad knowledge and
understanding of the main events and people across a long
time span, develop a sense of period/era, and identify the
links and developments.
Depth studies (enquiries)
that enable pupils to immerse themselves in the rich detail
of the past through exploring some of the key events,
people or changes and making the big ideas and stories
more memorable.
