Our Vision for History
By the end of their time with us, children will know stories both local as well as from far and wide and will understand their significance in shaping Britain and the world.
They will have developed their historical thinking as well as their ability to investigate, consider, reflect and review events and people from the past.
Their inquiring minds will enable them to ask and answer challenging historical questions and be able to make links between events, (underpinned by a deep seated understanding of chronology), understand change and continuity, identify similarity and difference, cause and effect and interpret events and developments.
They will use historical terms accurately and confidently and draw upon knowledge and skills from other subjects when communicating their ideas and findings.
Our children will demonstrate a sense of social responsibility and a respect for diversity. They will be willing to engage in and comment on a range of events and issues from the past that may be considered (both now and in the past) to be immoral, sensitive or controversial, leading to debates about what is right and wrong and passing judgment.
Overall, they will feel well equipped and prepared for the next stage of their history education and feel proud of their place in the world.
