We want every child to have every opportunity to experience success in each History learning episode.

Our curriculum is designed to inspire a curiosity of the past; the past of this country, in which our children live, but also of the wider world which they are a part of in order to build respect, tolerance, appreciation and pride. In who we are and where we come from.

Our history curriculum offers pupils the opportunity to ask questions, think critically, evaluate evidence, and develop an understanding of how the past is constructed. We believe our history curriculum will allow our children to gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.

We endeavour to teach our children to understand the amazing diversity of societies and individuals. We believe that history is an important subject in broadening children’s horizons, challenging ideas and developing life skills in order to prepare them for their future.
