History

 

History Curriculum intent: 

We want our students to think, speak, read and write like historians. We seek to develop our students as knowledge rich and outstanding enquiring critical thinkers of the future, confident of:

  • describing and explaining key events of the past
  • articulating well supported judgements
  • engaging with, and making inferences, from historical sources
  • recognising bias
  • using and challenging historical sources and interpretations
  • putting events in order.

At Bradfield, we want our students to have a big picture of the past, through breadth and depth studies, designed to equip with a secure and coherent grasp of local, national and global History.

Our intent is to make all our students intellectually curious historians who grasp that the past is not just a set of different facts; rather it is something that is to be explained, debated and contested and helps them make sense of the present world.
