History

The teaching of history gives pupils an understanding of the past through learning about human achievements and experiences. We investigate a range of sources to ask and answer questions about the past and how these impact the world we live in today. We examine the children’s own personal history, and develop their sense of chronology through the study of topics throughout the key stages. Over the course of the past two years, the staff of St James’ have worked to revitalise and adapt the history curriculum to the needs of our children. We feel that the curriculum is now an enriched and cohesive sequence of topics which our children will truly enjoy! Please check our Curriculum, Overviews and Knowledge Organisers below
