This History teacher video introduces the concept of continuity and change, a key historical concept from the National Curriculum. It explains how children should identify what has stayed the same and what has changed over time, rather than looking at events in isolation. Teachers are guided to support pupils in comparing historical periods—either with the present or with other points in history—and in understanding the reasons behind continuity and change.

The video demonstrates how to use tools like the Kapow Primary timeline and highlights examples from the curriculum, such as comparing the Stone Age to the Iron Age in lower key stage two, or exploring ancient Greece in upper key stage two. It supports teachers in helping pupils build chronological awareness and make meaningful historical comparisons.
