History Curriculum Statement of Intent

Curriculum Plans for Each Year Group

Please see Class Pages for more information on the Termly Curriculum Plans for each class. 

At Teversham, we are incredibly proud of the rich and exciting range of trips we offer our children.

Throughout their time with us, pupils enjoy a wide variety of visits and experiences that help bring their learning to life. Below is just a small selection of photographs that capture some of the memorable moments our children have enjoyed on their adventures beyond the classroom.

We are extremely grateful to our wonderful PTFA, who often support and contribute to the cost of school trips. Their generosity helps us ensure that every child can take part in these valuable experiences, and we truly appreciate everything they do for our school community.

The subject of History especially opens up fantastic opportunities for learning outside the classroom. From exploring historic sites and museums to stepping into the shoes of people from the past, we believe it is so important that children experience history first‑hand. These visits help them develop curiosity, empathy and a deeper understanding of the world around them—far beyond what a textbook can offer.

At Teversham, learning is an adventure, and our trips play a vital part in making each child’s school journey inspiring, engaging and unforgettable.

Archaeology Day - In collaboration with Bellway and the Springstead Development 

As part of the ongoing work at the Springstead development, we were offered the opportunity of a visit from Chris Wakefield, who works at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit. He came and spoke to all children in each class about what archaeology is and what an archaeologist does. He showed us a range a finds - from pre-history to the Anglo-Saxon era, telling the story of people from our local area through time and archaeological artefacts. We saw Roman pots with names inscribed on them which told the story of Celts trying to look cool and 'Romanize' their names for their new neighbours, animal skulls which told the story of which animals were kept and why, and even saw a 3,000 year old poo encased in resin! Chris explained that this was the best thing he has ever dug out of the ground because he tells us so much about the people living at that time - from what they ate to what diseases they may have had. And yes - he said that before it was encased in resin - it did still smell after all this time!
