  • Build on their understanding of the past through experiencing a broad and balanced course of study
  • Improve as effective and independent learners, and as critical and reflective thinkers with curious and enquiring minds
  • Develop the ability to ask relevant and significant questions about the past and to research them

  • Organise and communicate their historical knowledge and understanding in different ways, arguing a case and reaching substantiated judgements.
