We are using the Opening Worlds Scheme as the basis of our humanities curriculum at St Breward in KS2. The scheme is created to ensure the curriculum is highly coherent, with intricate links built within and across subjects so that nothing sits in isolation but rather is supported and enriched both horizontally and vertically. It is also very carefully sequenced so that pupils’ ability to understand new content, arrive with curiosity about a difficult new topic, instantly recognise a wide range of technical vocabulary, build a comparison and reach a critical judgement is systematically planned.
