History

Subject Leader – Miss Pickup

At Fishwick we use the CUSP (Curriculum with unity schools partnership) curriculum: an approach underpinned by research evidence and cognitive science. It is ambitious and designed to teach and enrich knowledge and cultural capital for all pupils. It is vocabulary focussed and aims to equip children with the technical language needed to talk about their learning in a precise manner in History. Knowledge organisers are used with learning modules that support vocabulary development. History is taught through a series of modules, which are regularly revisited within each academic year and built upon in later years. Pupils access mini quizzes at regular intervals within modules thus challenging them to recall their learning.
