History is a fascinating journey through time, allowing our young learners to explore the rich tapestry of the past. In Key Stages 1 and 2, children study significant events, individuals, and developments that have shaped our world. Through engaging activities, we aim to foster curiosity and critical thinking, encouraging pupils to ask questions and make connections between past and present. The study of history not only helps children understand their heritage but also develops skills such as empathy and analysis, empowering them to become informed citizens and to appreciate the diverse narratives that contribute to our society today.
