The National Curriculum for History includes concepts of disciplinary knowledge which Ofsted expects to see taught hand in hand with substantive knowledge through Key Stages 1 and 2. This practical webinar will show how subject leaders can assess for progression in the concept of cause and consequence but combined with the essential substantive knowledge (content) that should accompany it. It will demonstrate how this concept can be woven into successive medium term plans, allowing pupils to develop sophisticated schema drawn from diverse content. Examples of enquiry questions, mark schemes and criteria will be included.

This webinar was recorded as part of our webinar series on Assessing substantive and disciplinary knowledge together in primary history (Spring 2023). The full series is available to access on-demand between January 2024–January 2025.
