‘A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots’

Marcus Garvey

Through history, we aim to foster the children’s interest and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past. We aim for the children to develop a sense of identity - our history curriculum represents the diverse nature of our school and celebrates the historical heritage of our children and families.  

In line with the National Curriculum, we teach the children to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. To understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
