The intent of our history curriculum is to encourage our children to fundamentally love history. We want to deliver a curriculum which is accessible to all and that will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. Our aim is that, through the teaching of history, we stimulate children’s interest and understanding about the lives of people of the past.

Chronology lies at the heart of our curriculum so children develop a sense of identity and an understanding of how history has impacted on our lives today. We strive to make children aware of the important actions, people and events that have taken place throughout history and how things have changed over time. Our history teaching will also ensure our children understand how Britain developed as a society, contributing to their understanding of their country of residence. We believe that by allowing the children to understand the importance and enjoyment of History through different opportunities, they will become enthused learners in History.

In History at our school, we will also give children opportunities to develop their secondary concept skills of continuity and change, similarity and difference, cause and effect and significance through answering enquiry questions.
