History ignites a sense of curiosity about the past, fostering an understanding of how events and people have shaped our world. Through engaging narratives and hands-on activities, children develop critical thinking skills, explore diverse perspectives, and learn to analyse historical evidence. By connecting the past to the present, primary history helps children develop a sense of identity and belonging, preparing them to become informed and responsible citizens.
Our history policy aims to cultivate a deep understanding of the past by providing a stimulating and inclusive curriculum that fosters historical inquiry, critical thinking, and a sense of chronology, enabling pupils to appreciate the interconnectedness of events and their impact on the present.
