History is interwoven into our everyday lives as we think about our past, present, and future. It is important to learn about the past, ask questions about how times have changed, and compare different world events to understand how society has been shaped to become the one we live in now.
Here at Clearwell C of E Primary School, we aim to deliver a high-quality history education which makes full use of the resources within the immediate and wider local area, enabling children to develop a deep understanding of the history in their locality. Topics are informed by the National Curriculum 2014 and are taught on a 3-year rolling programme in the infant class and on a 4-year rolling programme in Key Stage 2.
In line with the National Curriculum, we aim to ensure that all pupils:
- Gain a coherent knowledge of understanding Britain’s past and that of the wider world which helps to stimulate pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past.
- Are encouraged to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and
- Develop perspective and judgement.
- Begin to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, their own identity, and the challenges of their time.
