Our History Curriculum

Through history we want to inspire curiosity amongst our children, to develop their own opinions and to build a strong understanding of the past so that they can better understand the world around them. Our curriculum aims to provide children with a broad knowledge of significant people and events from local, national and international levels reaching from the ancient era through to the twentieth century.
