History
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
-Marcus Garvey.
Our history curriculum stimulates curiosity, independent thinking and provides children with a rich knowledge base, promoting diversity and equality of British history and the history of the wider world around them.
Our aim is to help the children to know more and remember more about the past, the significant events and people and how these have shaped the way we live our lives today. It is designed in a coherent way so that children can explore the different interpretations of the past. This will allow them to become even more effective historians, developing their use of questioning, interpreting evidence from a range of sources and developing judgements based upon their findings. We endeavour to help children understand the complexities of people’s lives , the diversity of societies and the relationships between different groups. As well as reflecting on their own identity and challenges they may face over time.
