Information for Parents and Carers
As a values-led school, our curriculum is underpinned by promoting inclusion, happiness and raising aspirations. It is through these values that we develop the whole child. We believe that the skills we equip our children with will enable them to go into the world as curious, independent thinkers who are able to appraise and consider any views they are exposed to.
History Subject Intent
It is our intent to ignite children’s curiosity about the past through the study of History. Through understanding the past, children are able to empathise with others, ask questions and develop their own conclusions. All children are provided with the opportunity to visit historical landmarks or places of historical significance, in order to develop a deeper understanding of local and national History and its impact on the world they live in today.
We use Kapow’s scheme of learning for our History curriculum. Through Kapow’s History scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of significant events and individuals in global, British and local history and recognise how things have changed over time. History will support children to appreciate the complexity of people’s lives, the diversity of societies and the relationships between different groups.
