History Curriculum Intent

“History can mean two things; the past and the study of the past. The past influences all aspects of our lives. It shapes the customs and beliefs of the communities to which we belong. Learning about the past and the methods used to study it helps pupils make sense of the world in which they live.”

National Curriculum-Non-statutory Guidance

Through our teaching of History we aim to:

To arouse interest in the past and to help understand the present in the context of the past.
To give pupils an understanding of their own cultural roots and shared inheritances.
To develop a critical awareness of the past.
To develop knowledge and understanding of chronology.
To develop pupil’s ability to acquire evidence from historical sources, to understand different interpretations of history and to form judgements about their reliability and value.
To contribute to children’s knowledge and understanding of the history of other countries and other cultures in the modern world.
To communicate historical information clearly using a range of resources.
