Harris History Hub

The hub will bring experienced primary and secondary History teachers together with professional historians to devise, resource and deliver knowledge-rich schemes of learning for primary students. It will focus on key historical periods identified in the History National Curriculum which are not currently commonly taught. These periods are envisaged to be “the earliest settlers to the British Isles” and “the end of Roman Britain & the early Anglo-Saxons”.

These schemes will ensure primary students are introduced to rich historical factual content in a way which is engaging and also historically valid. Their historical understanding throughout their education can then be built on solid foundations. It will be delivered by experienced primary teachers, supported by secondary history specialists. It will also draw directly on the knowledge and understandings of working academic historians, building on successful partnerships within the Harris Federation’s training programmes between working teachings and university academics.
