History

The teaching of History:

• Enables children to gain a strong knowledge and understanding of Britain's past, and that of the wider world. 

• Inspires curiosity to know more about the past.

• Enables children to ask perceptive questions, think critically, evaluate evidence, and develop their judgement and perspective.

• Teaches children to understand the complexity of people's lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies, and relationships between different groups of people.

• Helps children to understand their own identities and the challenges of the times we live in.
