Supporting quality in primary history and geography.

The Ofsted 2025 EIF and report card system are now in schools. The Deep Dive has gone – but does this mean that subject expertise no longer matters? In fact the opposite is true. Subject remains at the heart of the framework as much as ever and expectations upon subject leaders to develop “expertise” and be able to monitor and disseminate (including to senior leaders) is increased.  

Subject leaders must show subject expertise, they must be able to show evidence of subject-specific CPD and senior leaders must understand subject nuance. Whether you are a senior leader looking to get to grips with subject nuance in history   and geography or you are a history or geography subject leader looking to get to grips with what will be expected of you, then this course is for you!

This course will enable you to:

• Get to grips with the 2025 EIF, report cards, the 2023 subject reports and their implications for primary history and geography
• Help subject leaders to effectively support senior leaders in preparing for inspection
• Take away modelled practical examples of high quality history and geography provision that meet the EIF requirements
• Plan to improve the quality of your history and geography provision
