This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders, history leads, teachers and practitioners with advice and practical guidance on teaching historical interpretations at primary level, so that pupils develop a deep understanding of how historical accounts are constructed.

In its ‘Research review series: history’, Ofsted states that pupils ‘make progress in history through building their knowledge of the past, and of how historians study the past and construct accounts’, highlighting this key aspect of history pedagogy.

In this webinar, Richard McFahn, ITE history tutor for University of Sussex, experienced teacher, leader, adviser and writer, shows how schools can develop pupils’ ability to analyse and evaluate historical accounts using a range of practical examples for primary-level teaching and learning.
