Webinar series: Creating curriculum pathways through primary history at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2

This webinar was recorded as part of our webinar series exploring the teaching of substantive concepts in primary history. The National Curriculum for history requires pupils to gain understanding about abstract concepts of substantive knowledge across periods, while the Ofsted framework expects to see teaching in greater depth than before. This practical series of webinars with Andrew Wrenn shows how pupils can be introduced to these concepts which can then be systematically revisited wherever they occur in content, ensuring that pupils accumulate powerful knowledge around it for retrieval as they progress through medium term plans.

Session 6: Government

In this session on Government, reference is made to the study of possible significant individuals who headed different forms of government such as Oliver Cromwell and Ashoka, India’s first emperor. Various forms of government are also featured from across Key Stage 2 content including civilisations, ancient Greece, Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings and the curricular options of Islamic Civilisations, the Maya and Benin.
