History
At Holy Trinity School, pupils are encouraged to be historians and ask perceptive questions that inspire their curiosity about events from the past. Our curriculum is intended to support children in gaining key knowledge and events from history whilst enabling them to understand the chronology of events and how change has happened over time. It is designed to enable all pupils to gain an understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
By studying the past, pupils develop a deeper understanding of the present world around them and a greater sense of their own identity.Studying history also helps inspire children’s curiosity and encourages them to ask critical questions about the world and local area in which they live. A key part of our curriculum focuses on local history and the surrounding area.
The skills and knowledge explored and developed have been carefully planned and mapped out in our history progression of skills map. Children will experience history through interactive and stimulating lessons and undertake field trips relevant to their topics to bring their history learning to life. We take full advantage of the amazing historical sites within the local area to provide immersive experiences to engage and enthuse the children.
