INTENT
Our aim is to ignite and stimulate children’s creative curiosity to develop an appreciation for the past that will help children understand who they are, and how their environment and
the world has changed over time. Our teaching will equip children with the skills to ask enquiry questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and
judgement. Children will be taught how events in the past have influenced and shaped our lives today and learn an appreciation for previous generations. In school, we will, through the
effective teaching and learning of the knowledge, skills and understanding of history, help all children develop an understanding of Britain’s past and the wider world, exploring time,
place, people and events. We will use the National Curriculum History Guidelines as the basis for our planning and we will make meaningful links with our understanding of the children
we teach.
