At Newquay Junior, we shape our history curriculum to ensure it is fully inclusive to every child.
Our aims are to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for History; providing a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum that encompasses the British Values throughout; ensuring the progressive development of historical concepts, knowledge and skills; and for the children to study life in the past.
We aim for a high-quality history curriculum which should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
Our teaching equips pupils with knowledge about the history of Britain and how it has influenced and been influenced by the wider world; know and understand about significant aspects of the history of the wider world like ancient civilisations and empires; changes in living memory and beyond living memory; learn about the lives of significant people of the past; understand the methods of historical enquiry and be able to ask and answer questions.

From September 2024 we have adopted the ‘Opening Worlds’ Curriculum as we believe that this is this provides our children with the breadth and depth of world history to enable them to become successful, respectful members of society, with positive behaviours who live informed, enriched lives.
We want children to enjoy and love learning about history by gaining this knowledge and skills, not just through experiences in the classroom, but also with the use of fieldwork and educational visits.
