Our fully revised History Skills Progression Document is a useful planning document for class teachers and subject leaders in supporting their planning and mapping of history through school. This means that class teachers and subject leaders have a very clear progression for ensuring that each historical-enquiry skill and historical concept are increasingly challenging throughout each year group. The document clearly maps out a progression in each of the historical-enquiry skills from the National Curriculum and each of the core concepts in the history curriculum’s Programme of Study. The key skills are then mapped progressively from the Foundation Stage to Upper Key Stage 2, meaning that historical-enquiry skills and historical concepts becoming increasingly challenging throughout the respective keys stages. Each of these progressions can be used as part of a learning objective or success criteria in history lessons. This is also a useful tool to support any conversation with OFSTED to show progression of historical-enquiry skills.
