At Christ Church Infant and Junior School, we aim to deliver a history curriculum that stimulates all children’s interests and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past, the history of our locality and that of the wider world. 

 

We teach children a sense of chronology, and through this they develop a sense of identity and a cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. Thus, they learn to value their own and other people’s cultures in modern multicultural Britain and, by considering how people lived in the past, they are better able to make their own life choices today. 

 

The curriculum is structured in a way that allows for children to make links between current and previous learning. History lessons focus on working as historians and developing historical skills and there are many opportunities for the curriculum to be enriched through historical visits, visitors and events held in school.
