"The more you know about the past,
the better prepared you are for the future!"
Theodore Roosevelt
Statement of Intent:
History at All Saints’ is key to help children build up a clear, chronological understanding of the past of Britain and the wider world. Our teaching inspires children’s curiosity to know more about the past and encourages them to ask critical questions and enables them to have a better understanding of the society in which they live and that of the wider world.
Just a thought...
The study of History provides great scope for debate and exploration of the past. Most interestingly, it is the defining period in the shaping of modern Europe and the way in which it links the past to the present, is most fascinating. History has created the state which would then trigger two wars which have then shaped the modern world. This has given us a more rounded understanding of the world we live in, linking our mysterious and intriguing past to our all too familiar present surroundings.
The immersion into the culture and history of different countries has helped develop knowledge and understanding of people who live there.
