History
Welcome to the History subject page, maintained and updated by the History Lead, Mrs Garrett. The History team consists of Mrs Cooper (History team member) and Mrs Garrett (History Lead).
Intent:
Our intent at Parkdale is that every child develops the ability to ask perceptive questions, think critically, promote curiosity and understand how people, society and the wider world have changed in history.
Our History skills and knowledge are largely drawn from the 2014 National Curriculum and are mapped into our three termly themes. Our Autumn topic of ‘Identity’ and Summer topic of ‘Peace and Conflict’ enables each year group to cover their relevant key skills, knowledge and understanding.
