Ark Victoria Academy

Pupils leave Ark Victoria with a coherent, chronological understanding of changes and events that have shaped both British and world history.  They discus key concepts such as cause & consequence, similarity & difference change & continuity and historical significance with confidence, and can identify these ideas in the writing of historians. When studying past events, pupils are curious, and critically analyse connections, contrasts and trends over time to make sense of our world. They communicate using the academic language of historians, and they demonstrate disciplinary skills, such as analysing and evaluating historical sources to form their own opinions of the past and challenge the interpretations of others. Pupils at Ark Victoria develop a sense of their identity as local, national and global citizens through their study of history. They appreciate the complexity of people's lives, the process of change, and the diversity of societies, resulting in them becoming respectful world citizens.
