Primary History - Home - primaryhistory. Directors: Jon Nichol, John Fines, Jacqui Dean and Ray Verrier The Nuffield Primary History principle is that everything published has been taught by teachers or the team.

Lessons take the form of a narrative based on work with children. Many lessons were produced by teachers on professional development courses. Resources include notes on teaching approaches exemplified by over a hundred lessons and short lessons. There is also advice on leading history in primary schools.

Learning is made accessible to all children by starting with what they know and can do, something they can identify with, and building on that. Questions challenge pupils to tackle real issues and important questions – to speculate, debate, and make connections. Gunpowder plot – year 2 discussion about how to deal with King James.
