Statement of Intent

For our pupils to know, understand and remember what happened in the past within our local area, our country and the wider world. To enable them to acquire skills in history that they can use in other areas of school and life. For our pupils to understand how the events of the past deeply affect the past and the future.

History Lead:

Ms. Renaldi

History fires pupils’ curiosity in Britain and the wider world. Through our thematic approach, pupils consider how the past influences the present, what past societies were like, and what beliefs and cultures influenced people’s actions.  As they do this, pupils develop a chronological framework for their knowledge of significant events and people. Artefacts, visitors and visits to places of interest enrich this learning and enthuse the children. What they learn can influence their decisions about personal choices, attitudes and values.
