History at Holbeach Bank Academy
At Holbeach Bank Academy, our enquiry-led History lessons spark children’s curiosity and help them build a clear understanding of Britain’s past and the wider world. Children learn to consider different interpretations of events and understand the impact of significant people on society.
Our Approach
- Early Years: Children explore the past through simple stories, play activities and familiar objects that help them understand how life can be different over time.
- KS1: Pupils learn about the past using visits, artefacts and sources, beginning to ask questions and notice differences between then and now.
- KS2: Pupils study a wider range of historical periods through enquiry questions, using evidence to form conclusions and developing a clearer sense of chronology.
Vision in Action
In History lessons, pupils are actively engaged in enquiry-led learning, using a range of sources to investigate the past, build subject knowledge and develop key skills such as questioning, sequencing and considering different viewpoints. Teaching is inclusive, well structured and enriched with real experiences that help bring historical learning to life for all children.
