Intent
The aim of our history curriculum is to:
- Develop historical enquiry skills so that children can ask questions, evaluate information and think critically.
- Develop an understanding of different historical periods and events and the lives of people who lived in the past, making comparisons between these.
- Develop a sense of chronology and appreciation of children’s historical heritage.
- Learn to evaluate sources and connect information from different sources to build a bigger picture, appreciating that interpretations may differ.
- Develop children’s understanding of process of change over time and how history has influenced our lives today.
How History links with our school values:

Be Kind - We learn about the past in order to learn more about ourselves: we develop compassion in this way.
