History at St. Bernadette’s Primary School aims to ensure that our children will leave school with a secure understanding of the chronology of British history and that of the wider world. Through our topics, we aim to provide interesting and exciting historical experiences, which promote historical thinking; developing an appreciation of the past
and ensuring children become analytic thinkers by evaluating a range of primary and secondary sources. A question-focused approach will encourage our children to ask questions, weigh evidence, scrutinise arguments and develop their own judgement of historical periods. Our curriculum has been carefully planned and structured so there
is a clear progression of knowledge, skills and understanding. Our curriculum will allow our children to become curious learners, developing a deep understanding of the historical concepts taught and they will be able to build upon their prior knowledge.

Our History Subject Leader is Miss Burns.
