A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Archived - History, Year 6, What does the census tell us about our local area?
This resource is designed to help pupils explore how census data provides insights into the lives of people in the past and present. It introduces key vocabulary such as “enumerator”, “inference”, and “head of household”, and explains the purpose and structure of the census. Through sources like birth and death records, newspapers, and maps, pupils investigate how local areas have changed over time. The historical timeline from 1801 to 2021 shows the development of census-taking in Britain, encouraging children to analyse data, draw conclusions, and understand the impact of demographic shifts. This is an ideal tool for building historical enquiry skills and deepening understanding of population studies and local history.
