“The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.”
– Harry S Truman

Purpose of Study:

We aim for our History Curriculum to inspire children to be curious about the past and to think and act as historians.

Our History Curriculum allows children to:

• Investigate and interpret the past.

• Understand chronology.

• Build a secure overview of Britain's past, as well as that of the wider world.

• Communicate effectively using acquired historical vocabulary.

• Make judgements from primary and secondary sources.

• Gain a sense of personal and national identity.

• Develop a sense of what it means to be human.

• Appreciate difference and similarity and significance.

• Develop a sense of continuity and change.

• Appreciate different cultures, periods and times.

• Develop the social and intellectual skills to analyse and interpret the situations that children find themselves in.
