Humanities

At Worthinghead, we teach history and geography (humanities) as part of a creative curriculum.

Here is our policy for teaching and learning in humanities (history and geography):

Humanities Policy September 2019.pdf

Each class will have a creative curriculum theme for a half term. Most learning in history and geography will link to these themes in order to provide children with a context for their learning.

We follow the history and geography programmes of study for key stages 1 and 2 from the National Curriculum for England.

We ensure a focus on the purpose of study as well as the attainment targets from the National Curriculum.

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children begin to develop history and geography skills and knowledge. They develop Characteristics of Effective Learning, which are applied in all subjects and areas of learning.

Understanding The World: People and Communities and The World link closely to History and Geography.
