History

In history, guided by the requirements of the National Curriculum 2014, it is our intent that our teaching will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.  We aim for our curriculum to ignite pupil’s curiosity about the past so that they ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence and develop the confidence to make their own judgements.

A key aspect to our curriculum is learning about ‘Local Heroes’. These heroes demonstrated confidence, resilience and high aspirations in order to achieve their ambitions. Our Local Heroes have been carefully selected to promote achievement in all areas of the curriculum, for example, Hannah Cockroft who excelled in sport, Ted Hughes who excelled in Literature and David Hockney who excelled in art.

Geography

At Salterhebble, our intent is to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for Geography; providing a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum; ensuring the progressive development of geographical concepts, knowledge and skills; and for the children to develop a love for geography. Furthermore, we aim to inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. 

Through our teaching, we intend to provoke thought and questions, encouraging children to build resilience, to discover answers to their own questions. We encourage pupils to explore and research, using first-hand fieldwork experiences, to enable them to gain a greater understanding and knowledge of the world, and their place within it.
