History

History tells the story of how people have strived, succeeded (and occasionally failed) to survive and thrive.  We want our pupils to see this journey spread before them and understand how it leads to the present: to see the ambition, struggle, co-operation, conflict, success and failure that is evident in every period studied.  History opens our eyes to the diversity of human experience; it provides us with opportunities to learn more deeply about society and ourselves, and knowledge of the great events of the past helps to bring context to our everyday experiences. Finally, our curriculum endeavours to teach children to respect the past so they can develop into just and open-minded historians.
