At Northside Primary School, history is about stimulating the children's interests and developing an understanding of the life of people who lived in the past based on factual knowledge and a progression of skills. To fully understand this, we provide children with opportunities to consider the people involved, their reasons, actions and the consequences of them.
By studying history, children can begin to make sense of the world in which they live and understand the present in context with the past. We firmly believe that history should be activity-based; engaging the children in enquiry and investigation where they are Happy to Learn and Inspired to Flourish.
