History is a very powerful subject in our curriculum as it sparks curiosity of the past in Britain and the wider world. Children find out about past lives and societies and how these have influenced the present. Pupils learn skills of chronology to help place significant events and people over time. Pupils also learn enquiry skills – how to gather and interpret evidence from a wide range of sources.

We seek imaginative ways to bring history to life for our pupils by organising a range of trips to museums, historical sites and visitors who have lived in historical times in each year group.
