Subject Intent	Through our history curriculum, we strive to ignite pupils’ curiosity about the past in Britain and the wider world. We endeavour to help children know more and remember more about the history of the world and their place within it. Through finding out about how and why the world, our country, culture and local community have developed over time, children can gaining an understanding how the past influences the present. Our history curriculum provides children with opportunities to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. Through the teaching of history, we endeavour to teach children to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
