History
We believe a rich and well-structured history curriculum enables children to develop a deep understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Our approach broadens horizons, challenges assumptions, and equips pupils with essential life skills to support their journey through secondary school and beyond.
Our curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to ensure that historical knowledge and understanding build progressively throughout each stage of learning. We also recognise the vital role history plays in raising aspirations and preparing children to become thoughtful, informed, and responsible citizens. By exploring change over time, societal development, and human experiences, pupils gain valuable context for understanding both themselves and others.
We aim to spark curiosity and a lifelong interest in the past. Our curriculum encourages children to ask insightful questions, think critically, evaluate evidence, and develop informed perspectives.
Through the study of history, pupils come to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the diversity of societies, and the evolving relationships between different groups. They also gain a stronger sense of identity and insight into the challenges faced in different eras: lessons that resonate with their own lives today.
