History
Our history curriculum inspires children to be curious about the past of both their own country and of the wider world, from the earliest times to the present day. Our aim is for them to develop their understanding of the variety of societies there have been over time, of relationships between different groups, of how complex different people’s lives have been and of the process of change. We use an enquiry-based approach and students are encouraged to generate their own questions about the past and to follow their own lines of enquiry to answer these. To help students develop their understanding of how we know, and how certain we can be, about the past we explore a range of sources of evidence, thinking critically about our discoveries. History links closely with many other curriculum areas such as English, geography, art and design and Philosophy and RE, as well as offering opportunities to investigate global cultures and communities. As we investigate the position of children in different societies and at different times clear connections are made to the UNICEF rights of the child and Global Goals.
