Subject Leader: Mr M DuffyHistory Curriculum 
Intent:
The intention of the History curriculum is to provide opportunities for children to explore political and religious developments in history at a range of scales; therefore giving every child a broad understanding of how the human world of today has developed the way it has.
Our main aims are to:
- Live: Ensure pupils develop analytical, empathetic and interpretation skills and personal qualities for lifelong learning so that they can make an active contribution to society
- Love: Broaden pupils’ horizons by giving them opportunities to explore the wider world through their study of different cultures and societies in history.
- Learn: Develop independent, confident and successful learners who achieve the best possible academic standards, whatever their starting point.
