History
History is taught within the framework of the National Curriculum and follows a progressive, chronological approach. The principal aim is the fostering of enthusiasm for the subject, encouraging an enjoyment of the sense of story in the children, as well as those skills vital for academic success, such as evaluation of evidence and analytical and narrative essay writing. The children are able to learn through a variety of media and throughout the course they are encouraged to handle artefacts, pictures and photographs, progressing to maps, documents, architectural and environmental clues. Discussion explores differing points of view, cause and effect and the value of evidence. Children learn about the major issues and events in the history of their own country and the world and how they may have influenced each other.
