History Curriculum Overview
In line with the 2014 National Curriculum for history, our aim is to provide a high-quality history education which equips children with a historical understanding of the world. Children will be able to learn from the past and how it has an impact on their own lives now.
As a school, we aim to nurture a progressive history curriculum, which develops learning and results in children knowing more, remembering more and understanding how the knowledge and skills can be applied to their own historical thinking.
We aim to inspire children's curiosity about the past; to teach them how to ask historical questions, think critically about sources and develop perspective and judgement.
“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us ..." Romans 15:4.
