History
Curriculum intent
The History Department at Christ Church Secondary Academy (CCSA) will develop confident historians who have an appreciation of the historical context and development of the local, national and global context of the world in which they live so that they can flourish as citizens in modern Britain. The history curriculum at CCSA is driven and underpinned by our school values of supporting all learners to be courageous in this approach to history, developing compassion to their community and the wider world so that students are able to achieve and fulfil their potential.
Curriculum implementation
To support our students to be curious learners we:
Plan and deliver an ambitious and diverse history curriculum which is centred around the broad historical knowledge that students need to know but also we aim to ensure that our students have access to historical knowledge that will broaden their horizons.
Literacy will be at the heart of learning in history – reading, writing and oracy – and our lessons have been planned and designed to ensure that all students are consistently developing each of these aspects of literacy.
We will ensure that that students have a variety of opportunities to practice using the historical knowledge that they have learned through our curriculum.
We have high expectations for each and every student that we teach and we firmly believe that each student deserves access to a rich, broad, diverse and ambitious history curriculum where every student has the opportunity to achieve at the highest possible level.
