History at West Wycombe School

Intent

At West Wycombe, the History curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive and progressive understanding of historical events and their impact on society. The curriculum is structured to build on students' knowledge year by year, with each year group focusing on specific historical topics. Our intent is to inspire students to develop a deep understanding of historical concepts and knowledge through an inquiry based approach. By exploring significant events and individuals, we aim to foster curiosity, critical thinking and empathy while building awareness of human behaviour's complexities and societal diversity.
