History

History - Curriculum Intent

We aim to provide a broad, engaging and balanced curriculum to enable our pupils to gain a good knowledge of Britain's past and an awareness of the wider world. Our children use curiosity to learn about the past through questioning, critical thinking, use of evidence and widening perspective. The children explore historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance. Our learning helps the children understand people's lives, changes over time and diversity within society. It also develops an understanding of local history and the children's place in history. This enables our children to become inquisitive and critical thinkers.
