History

'The more you know 45out the past, the better prepared you are for the future' - Theodore Roosevelt

The aim of history at Antrobus St Mark's & Great Budworth Primary School is to stimulate the children’s interest and understanding of significant events from the past and their impact on how people lived. Throughout their learning, children develop their historical understanding by exploring substantive and disciplinary knowledge, as well as key historical concepts.

Children gain an understanding of chronology throughout their time at our schools and learn how events in the past have influenced and continue to influence our lives today. Through historical investigations, the skills of enquiry, source analysis, interpretation and problem-solving, the children’s understanding of history is challenged and developed.

History teaching at Antrobus St Mark's & Great Budworth Primary School also helps to develop the children’s understanding of citizenship and how Britain developed as a democratic society. Through this, they develop a sense of identity and cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. As a result they learn to value their own and other people’s cultures in a modern and multicultural Britain. This understanding helps them with their life choices today and also prepares them for their future.
