HISTORY

Through the History curriculum at St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe Primary School, we strive to inspire a curiosity within our children. We aim to develop an understanding of British history and that of the wider world. We work to develop an understanding of chronology as well as a knowledge and understanding of how our local area has changed over time. The children are given the opportunity to examine, interpret and evaluate a variety of sources in order to make deductions about the past. They are taught to think and behave as historians and archaeologists. The children are also encouraged to pose their own historical questions and investigate how and why the world has changed over time. As learners the children are challenged to think and discuss lessons learned from the past that make the future a better place. Throughout the year we have various themed days including; trips, school visits, workshops, historical experiences to develop a deeper understanding of the time periods studied and to inspire the children, ensuring they have a lifelong love of History. We also aim to help the children develop a better understanding of our British Values that have been formed throughout our history and the influential people who shaped the work, the continents and ultimately where they live today.
