History

It is our aim that children will acquire an enthusiasm for learning about the past through the wide range of periods and significant people they study. They will develop a chronologically secure understanding of local, British and world history. They will build their knowledge using a range of sources and learn to evaluate the validity of each. Opportunities for visits outside school, and visitors to it, are valuable experiences used to enhance learning.
