History

In Key Stage 1, the focus of history is very much on locally significant events, such as the Battle of Jersey, events within their own memories and key events of significance such as Bonfire Night and The Great Fire of London. In addition, children will find out about important historical people, such as Florence Nightingale and Grace Darling. 

In Key Stage 2, there are four main areas of study: 

1. Changes in prehistoric Britain 
2. Ancient Civilisations 
3. Invaders and Settlers 
4. Various choices of study of a period after 1066 (dependent on year group) 

The study is intended to begin the development of a clear chronological understanding of Jersey and British history.
