History
‘The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.’
Theodore Roosevelt
History is all around us. The study of history ignites children’s curiosity about the past in Britain and the wider world. Through finding out about how and why the world, our country, culture and local community have developed over time, children understand how the past influences the present.
We have designed a history curriculum that reflects the needs of our children and:
Is progressive in skills and knowledge.
Builds on children’s prior knowledge.
Provides relevant and stimulating learning experiences.
Promotes diversity and inclusion.
Allows them to gain and use a wide range of historical terms and vocabulary.
Allows them to gain an understanding of historical concepts.
Develops effective and successful communicators of the future.
Our history curriculum provides adaptable learning experiences that foster children’s curiosity about their local area and their place in history. They will also explore key events that have shaped the world today. Children will be respectful of events that have affected our lives.
