Intent

To develop, regardless of gender, ability or background, children with a coherent knowledge of Britain’s history, their locality and the history of the wider world. This includes developing a broad understanding of chronology, a good breadth of knowledge of significant individuals and events, and ensures that all children can form and justify historical opinions and understand what it means to be an ‘Historian’.

We believe that studying History improves our decision-making and judgment. History also teaches us how to learn from the mistakes of others and helps us understand change and societal development. History also provides us a context from which to understand ourselves and others.
