How do we ensure your child is receiving the very best education possible?

Our Goals
​
Our history curriculum equips children with the skills to ask questions, evaluate sources, and investigate historical events and figures. Pupils learn to think critically about the past, understand different perspectives, and reflect on the impact of historical events on societies and cultures.
​
Why History Matters
​
Studying history enriches children’s educational experience and helps them develop empathy, responsibility, and an awareness of different cultures and eras. Learning about the past allows pupils to understand the present and make informed choices for the future.
​
Our History Curriculum
​
History is taught through thematic units, combining historical knowledge, enquiry, and practical activities. The curriculum fosters understanding of chronology, key events, and influential figures, helping children develop the skills to analyse and interpret evidence.
​

History is delivered through a mix of:
-
Subject knowledge and key concepts
-
Historical skills and enquiry, including evaluating sources and evidence
-
Fieldwork and hands-on learning, both inside and outside the classroom

Pupil Voice
“I enjoy learning all about the things that have happened in the past. It defines the human race and how we exist today.”
​
“I loved learning about the Stone Age in Year 3 because we read a book about it first. But you also have places like Stonehenge and the Orkney Islands where there’s evidence of the past too.”
​
“I like learning about people’s diaries from the wars. For example, Anne Frank.”
​
“We can’t wait to do the trial about the Pendle Witches!”
​
