History
The curriculum for History at Charles Saer has been designed to equip pupils with the skills to ask perceptive questions, think critically, challenge, consider evidence and develop a rounded perspective and judgement about Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Our teaching ensures the progressive development of historical concepts, knowledge and skills; and for the children to study life in the past. History helps pupils 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.
We ensure that Historical skills and knowledge are built on and developed throughout children’s time at school so that they can apply their knowledge of History when examining artefacts and resources, asking and answering questions, finding evidence, building arguments and explaining their reasons confidently. History fosters tolerance of other people’s opinions and the understanding that others may interpret evidence of the past in a different way.
