History

Subject Statement

We aim to foster an enthusiasm and sense of curiosity about the past, encouraging the children in their first steps towards being life-long learners.

Studying history gives pupils the opportunity to develop an understanding of why the world and its people are the way they are today. They begin to ask questions as they explore the diversity of human experience, past lives and societies. By the end of their primary education, we aim for children to have a chronological understanding of British history from Stone Age to present day and are able to draw comparisons and make connections between different time periods and their own lives. Pupils also explore the ancient civilizations, developing their understanding of trends over time and across concurrent civilizations.
