The primary history curriculum in the UK aims to support students to understand the past, from their local area and into the wider world. By exploring where they live, children can feel more connected to their community's history. At the same time, they learn about Britain's history and how it fits into the global picture.

Our history curriculum is guided by the Grammarsaurus scheme of work which staff edit and adapt to suit the needs of the learners in our school.

The curriculum focuses on thinking skills, encouraging students to ask meaningful questions and look closely at historical artefacts and historical areas of interest. They conduct activities such as taking part in historical investigations and analysing historical items from the past, which helps them develop their research skills, oracy, and collaborative working.

By looking at history from different angles, students learn more about how people lived in different places and in different times.

Our primary history curriculum engages children and teaches them to be thoughtful citizens. By learning about the past, children understand more about how the world has changed over time.
