Our History Subject Lead is Mrs A. Hawkins and our Subject Link Governor is Fr. Kevin Tierney.
Statement of Historical Intent
The History curriculum makes full use resources within the immediate and wider local area enabling children to develop a deep understanding of the rich history of their locality. Topics are informed by the National Curriculum and are sensitive to children’s interests, as well as the context of the local area.
Our aim at St Theresa's RC Primary School is to ensure that all pupils:
- gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world which helps to stimulate pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past.
- are encouraged to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement.
- begin to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
