All children will have the chance to explore the awe and wonder of the historical world around them. Children will be given the chance to explore the historical aspect of the area in which we live. Within the safety of our nurtured environment we will understand the history of the world from the earliest times to the present day and have time to explore these important events

Cherish

They will explore how events in the past have created and enhanced the world around us. The children will learn to cherish the history of our country and other historical events.

Shine

Through carefully planned historical trips and events children will be given the time to shine. These inspirational days will plant the seed of enquiry from which the children will become independent, innovative thinker. This will equip them to enquire and question the world and area around them.

Purpose of study

A high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and challenges of their time.
