Welcome to the History page for Thorpe Lea Primary School. All teachers deliver History lessons to their classes and our coordinator is Miss Hunter.

Introduction

 Thorpe Lea Primary School believes History has a huge impact across the wider curriculum. It is our belief that historical themes, when taught in a creative way and intertwined with other subjects, both core and foundation, will enhance the learning experience of all children. We believe that History can inspire curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. We feel it is important to nurture their inquisitive thinking and questioning skills to enable them to interpret what they see.

History Our aims – National Curriculum:

A high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils 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.
