Intent

At St Nicholas School our intent, when teaching History, is to stimulate the children’s curiosity in order for them to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding about  the past. History is all around us; in our families with their unique backgrounds, cultures and traditions, and in our local and wider communities. Through finding out about how and why the world has developed over time, children understand how the past influences the present. History enables our children to develop a context for their growing sense of identity and a chronological framework for their knowledge of significant events and people. What they learn through history can influence their decisions about personal choices, attitudes and values. The teaching of History in our school is intended to equip pupils to ask questions about the past, analyse evidence, think critically, appreciate different perspectives and develop informed judgements. We aim to provide an interesting and varied curriculum that intrigues our children while celebrating and appreciating all backgrounds, cultures and traditions.
