This downloadable spreadsheet lists the Assessing pupils’ progress statements from each of our Geography lessons and provides space for you to enter your teacher assessments for each pupil.

The spreadsheet will then calculate what percentage of lessons each pupil was Working towards, Secure understanding or Greater depth. It will also show for each lesson what percentage of pupils were Working towards, Secure understanding or Greater depth.

History: Long-term plan

The History Long-term plan gives a suggested order for teaching our History units over a school year. There are three units per year group, each made up of six lessons. A brief summary of each unit is provided.

 

This document also gives information about how our curriculum has been designed, and any flexibility to move units around to adapt the scheme to suit your school. For detailed information, visit our History curriculum, EYFS History, KS1 History, Lower KS2 History, and Upper KS2 History.

 

Please note that this document has been significantly updated for the academic year 2024/25. The changes are outlined below. If you would like to see an archived version of our previous History: Long-term plan, please see here.

 

What has changed?

 

We have  updated our long-term plan for the academic year 2024/25 which will impact the teaching of History in Years 4 and 5.

Year 4: Pupils will now explore the Maya civilisation, previously studied in Year 5. This unit has been carefully adapted for Lower Key Stage 2, providing an engaging introduction to one of the world’s fascinating ancient societies.

Year 5: We’ve moved children’s study of the Viking period into Year 5, adapting the lessons in the unit to match the progression of knowledge and skills for Upper key stage 2. This shift allows for a deeper exploration of the Vikings and their impact on British history.

 

Why have we made these changes?

These adjustments aim to create a more balanced and integrated History curriculum in Lower key stage 2.  The changes help to highlight the simultaneous occurrence of significant events in Britain and other parts of the world during the same historical periods.

Year 3: Pupils will learn about the Iron Age, Bronze Age, Stone Age, and Roman period in Britain, while also exploring major developments in Ancient Egypt during these times.

Year 4: As students study the Anglo-Saxon invasions, they will also learn about contemporary events in what is now Mexico. This approach enhances their understanding of historical chronology and global interconnections.

 

Transitioning to the new long-term plan.

If you have been following our current long-term plan for the 2023/24 academic year, your Year 4 pupils may have already studied the Vikings. To avoid repetition in Year 5, we will be archiving our existing Year 5 Maya unit titled ‘How did the Maya civilisation compare to the Anglo-Saxons?.’ This will allow you to continue using this unit with Year 5 next year, ensuring a smooth transition and consistent learning experience.
