History

Within the GLA trust, Great Oldbury Primary Academy aims to provide a history curriculum which develops knowledge through enriching lessons. We believe that all children should have high aspirations gained from inspirational, significant individuals who have impacted history and our lives today.  

Knowledge is rooted through chronological understanding of periodicity. Children will be able to debate the validity of their views with confidence and empathy, by rooting their discussions in sound factual knowledge and key historical vocabulary.  

Through enriching experiences, including the use of increasingly difficult complex secondary sources, the curriculum is designed to build cultural capital and a clear understanding of human experience beyond everyday life. 

Every child at Great Oldbury can draw inspiration from figures throughout our history curriculum and aspire to use their historical understanding to develop their own sense of belonging and a deeper appreciation of the world around them.
