History at HCFS

At Hatfield Community Free School, our history curriculum is broad and balanced. The curriculum will nurture historical skills that provide the building blocks of what they need to know to be able to succeed in history. Our history curriculum is coherently planned, for the most part following a chronological order. The children will recognise recurring themes that run through history and use these to make connections and retrieve prior knowledge. The children will learn about the local history of Hatfield and appreciate their surroundings. Lessons on Black History Month each year emphasise the role, influence and importance that ethnic diversity has had throughout British history.
