Our history curriculum is a knowledge-rich curriculum, which is sequenced chronologically, aiming to provide children with powerful knowledge about the complexity of people’s lives and how we got here today.
The curriculum is designed to reflect the diverse community the school serves, and by the end of their time at Angel Oak, pupils are able to articulate an understanding of significant people and events at local, national and global level.
At Angel Oak Academy, we aim to ensure our pupils develop a deep understanding of both the human and physical world around them. Pupils learn geography in a systematic way, starting from their own personal geography and local area in EYFS and Key Stage 1, before zooming out to focus on countries and continents in Lower Key Stage 2, and the wider world in Upper Key Stage 2.
This allows children to expand on previous knowledge in each progressive year, and provides children with knowledge of a range of places around the world. In addition, pupils will learn a range of geographical skills through case studies, classroom activities and fieldwork studies. These skills, combined with succinct, progressive geographical knowledge, equip pupils with knowledge of diverse places, people, resources and processes that make up our Earth.
