History at Castledown inspires pupil curiosity and fascination about Britain’s past and that of the wider world including ancient civilisations.  Children gain historical knowledge and skills, not just through experiences in the classroom, but also with the use of fieldwork and educational visits.   

The History curriculum is filled with first-hand purposeful experiences which enable all children to expand their horizons and benefit from a breadth of cultural opportunities. These enrichment opportunities give children the chance to take on challenges and delve deeper to extend their understanding.

Our Geography curriculum inspires an inquisitiveness about the world and its people, anchored in their own lives and experience. We have a central focus on developing critical curiosity, reasoning, reflection, motivation and resilience, building from the characteristics of effective learning in the EYFS. Our Geography curriculum achieves this with first hand purposeful experiences which enable all children to expand their horizons and benefit from a breadth of cultural opportunities. These enrichment opportunities give them the chance to take on challenges, delve deeper to extend their understanding and recognise how they can show kindness and responsibility in their community and beyond.
