History
We want all of our young people to become competent scholars of the past, ensuring all students develop a love and understanding of our history. We teach the fundamental skills that allow all students to understand the importance of the people that have come before us. Our students learn substantive and important facts, they develop and gain the ability to argue, and they become effective communicators. Through the concept of the trivium our schemes of learning bring established values and developing paradigms together; where knowledge and understanding sit alongside cultural capital, and where skills are interwoven with the content.

How can I support History at home?
There are very popular and engaging History TV channels that are largely free, either on air or online. These show an endless variety of History based programming, whether it is on specific historical events, characters or civilisations. The range is unexpected and will always engage. These don’t have to be just viewed to cover the content your child is learning at school – engaging in History of any topic builds the knowledge and transferable skills that can be linked and used whatever your child is studying at that time. Above all history of any topic will further your child’s understanding and appreciation of the past.
