Students at SJB study History to empower them to understand a diverse range of people and societies in Britain and the wider world. This will enable them to develop an informed appreciation of current affairs, societal challenges and British values. Students will learn how to build concrete and convincing arguments and become confident at questioning the value of evidence through critical thinking. The range of topics we study are interesting, engaging, thought-provoking and support students’ understanding of other subjects.
At KS3 we teach History chronologically to ensure that students have a good understanding of events that have come before them and how they have influenced each other. For more information please see our Curriculum Map. We also build up their key skills: Knowledge and Understanding; Explain; Sources; Interpretations; SPaG. For more information on these please see our Assessment Frameworks.
