Our curriculum intent for History is that every child will: 

• develop a sense of curiosity about the past and how it influences us today
• have a respect for historical evidence and be able to evaluate and challenge a variety of views using a range of historical resources
• have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of people, events and contexts from a range of historical periods
• be able to explore, debate and discuss the past by formulating questions and lines of enquiry
• have a desire to embrace challenging activities, including opportunities to undertake high-quality research across a range of history topics

Implementation of the History Curriculum at Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity is committed to ensuring all children have full access to a high-quality historical education. Where possible, we do this by teaching our history in a progressive way to enable the children to have a more in-depth knowledge of the past both in Britain and the wider world.

In support of the above, children have access to a range of wider curriculum opportunities to support their learning.  This may include trips and visits, workshops, clubs, roles of responsibility and residential visits in the later years.  These all combine to enable pupils to identify as historians within real life contexts and make comparisons between life now and in the past.

The Impact of the History Curriculum at Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity pupils have experience of developing their historical knowledge and skills during their time with us. Through being exposed to and studying a range of periods of history, key figures from the past and key concepts they have developed an understanding of how life has changed throughout the world. In offering our children an experience where they can be curious, ask questions, explore, and in teaching them the skills and confidence to contribute effectively within our school, the community and the wider world.
