Why?

At Hollywood, our history curriculum will encourage children to think critically about the past, and feed their curiosity to know more. Children will learn how to think like historians, using a variety of skills to help them ask and answer questions. Our skills-based curriculum will help children to understand historical chronology, and enable them to pinpoint their own place in history too. 

What?

• Provide a knowledge-rich and enquiry-driven journey through time, teaching them about Britain and the wider world. 

• Children learn to interpret sources, helping them understand how we know about the past. 

• Make history real and exciting by focusing on local studies in Birmingham, which helps children connect with their city's story and see how it fits into bigger history.
