History

History Intent:

Throughout our history curriculum we aim to inspire a passion for learning about the past in Britain and the wider world. We encourage children to be curious to know more about the past and to have the skills required to explore their own interests. History lessons focus on working as historians and developing historical skills and there are many opportunities for the curriculum to be enriched through historical visits, visitors and events held in school. Children will leave East Hanningfield with a knowledge and understanding of historical events locally, nationally and internationally and how they have impacted on our lives today. They will develop perceptive questioning skills that enable them to use and evaluate historical evidence as a source of information and think critically.

Geography

Geography Intent:

Our Geography curriculum aims for children to understand and appreciate the wider world and the different communities living within it with curiosity, fascination and respect for our diverse planet and its natural and human environment. We aim for children to develop an understanding of the challenges that our world faces. Children will leave East Hanningfield having acquired the skills and knowledge to allow them to become the future Geographers of tomorrow.
