An Exceptional History Curriculum

The curriculum at Manor Leas Junior Academy is carefully crafted and designed to give our pupils a secure understanding of the world around them. Our aim is to create curious individuals that will question that world and endeavour to find ways to make it better. We will do this by giving the children challenging themes that will push the boundaries of their knowledge and ensure they think critically about their opinions of the world.

 

 

What do pupils say about the Curriculum?

Our curriculum is designed to develop three fundamental areas: knowledge (Head), empathy (Heart) and skills (Hands). We want students to leave with all of the knowledge and skills to not only enter the world of work or academia, but also to be equipped to deal with a rapidly changing world.  We want them to be ready and able to face the challenges of the world and contribute to making their communities a better place to live. 

An introduction to the History Curriculum- shared with Pupils and Parents:

Not only will we provide a knowledge rich curriculum, but the delivery of the content will enable pupils to revisit prior knowledge and link this to newly acquired themes and ideas. This will be through a variety of strategies based on research so that pupils leave our school knowing more and remembering more. We aim for children to make connections between the past and the present in order to understand how they could change the future.
