History

At St. Joseph’s, we encourage pupils to develop an appreciation and understanding of the past, evaluating a range of primary and secondary sources. Our Historians will also be able to explain clearly how these sources give us an insight about how people around the world used to live and how these interpretations may differ. We aim to nurture learners that can reflect on the past and make meaningful links to the present day, both on a local and global scale, motivating them to be curious and questioning in their historical enquiry. Through our progressive history curriculum, children will develop their skills, knowledge and vocabulary to become successful historians.
