History
The Nightingale Federation history curriculum is carefully mapped out so that all pupils leave with an understanding of the past that paves the way for their future. Throughout their journey in history, pupils will acquire a breadth of knowledge: of places and people, and significant events through time. Pupils will be given the opportunity to develop their ability to ask perceptive questions, think critically, analyse evidence, examine arguments, develop judgement, and understand
differing perspectives.
Through asking questions, acquiring sufficient knowledge and communicating findings in a sequenced and coherent manner, pupils will work towards the overall goal of a history education – gaining clear historical perspective. With clear historical perspective pupils will be empowered to be active global citizens: understanding the connections between local, regional, national, and international history; between cultural, economic, military, political, religious, and social history, and between short- and long-term timescales.
