History
At Bolton St Catherine's Academy, we recognise that history is a key curriculum driver, which supports learning across other curriculum areas.
Our history intent is “Inspiring a curiosity of the past”. We inspire young historians and give them the skills, knowledge and learning experiences that promote an enthusiasm for and enjoyment of history. Knowledge (disciplinary and substantive) progresses from EYFS through to the end of KS2 in a carefully structured sequence. Our curriculum empowers children to make sense of the world around them; broadening and deepening a curiosity about people and places.
History Skills
 |
Embedded within our curriculum are the six disciplinary skills that we feel are essential for demonstrating key progress as a historian from EYFS to Year 6.
We ensure that the children are confident in each of these six key skills by revisiting them and increasing how independent children can be when using them.

History Threads
 |
Interleaving our curriculum are six key historical threads. With a focus on these, we allow our children to make connections and comparisons across history topics throughout EYFS to Year 6.
