Curriculum Intent Statement

Our history curriculum inspires curiosity about the past and helps children understand how it shapes the world today. In the EYFS, children begin to explore the concept of time through stories, family experiences, and events in their own lives. As pupils progress through school, they develop chronological understanding, build knowledge of significant people, events, and changes, and begin to explore different interpretations of history. Through enquiry and discussion, they learn to organise and communicate their ideas with increasing confidence. We aim for every child to become a thoughtful young historian — curious, respectful, and able to use the past to understand the present and imagine a better future.
