HISTORY

Our high-quality curriculum has been developed to provide pupils with a comprehensive knowledge of Britain and the Wider World; develop their understanding of Britain's past; provide a knowledge of significant locations across the world, along with key events in world history.

The threads of children and society, monarchy and invasion run through all our history topics. The curriculum is carefully designed so that children can make connections between areas taught which will enable them to retain knowledge, vocabulary and key concepts as well as helping them make sense of history. Our aim is that children will be able to discuss the area of history in some depth as well as having an understanding of what it is to think and behave like a historian.

Key knowledge has been carefully mapped out so that children have an understanding of other civilisations that contributed positively to Great Britain and left a legacy that shaped our current lives and ways of working. Through this learning about our past, children will gain an understanding of our present and future as well as an understanding of the importance of British Values. 

We seek to broaden children’s real-life experiences both inside and outside of school through educational visits, visitors, experimentation, exploration and discovery.
