History

Team Leader: Mrs W Bradshaw-Smith – wsmith@nullkettlethorpe.wakefield.sch.uk

History builds upon a number of skills which can be used in all subjects and future employment. Pupils will develop a wide range of skills in enquiry, cause and consequence, knowledge and understanding as well as significance and interpretation.

Within History pupils learn to develop their own learning skills such as:

• Independent enquiry – Learning to ask questions to develop their knowledge of key events
• Effective Participation – Getting involved in lessons through project work and re-enactments
• Creative Thinking – Thinking about the importance of key events from a range of perspectives
• Team Work – Working together with pupils on key tasks to reach a common goal

How to support pupil learning:

The History Teams pages have a wealth of material to support pupils’ home learning.

KS4 intervention sessions are hosted by the History team, but attendance in lessons is key to success.

KS4 Revision Guides are available to order and purchase.
