History

History intent statement

History: Through History, children gain a clear understanding of Britain’s past, the wider world, and their own heritage, fostering curiosity and pride in their identity.

At St Chad’s RC Primary, our History curriculum provides high-quality lessons that help pupils build a clear knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and the wider world.

We want children to:

• Develop a strong sense of history and cultural heritage.

• Understand the world around them and their place within it.

• Explore identity through social, political, cultural, and economic contexts.

Learning is brought to life through engaging activities, trips, and visitors, encouraging pupils to question and investigate the past.

We also place importance on local history. By learning about the history of Manchester, pupils gain pride in their community while widening their understanding of global historical events.
