History

At St Anne's, our History curriculum aims to ignite curiosity about the past and help children develop a strong understanding of how historical events have shaped the world we live in today. Through engaging and meaningful lessons, we encourage pupils to think critically, ask questions, and explore different perspectives.

We provide a broad and balanced curriculum that covers local, national, and global history, helping children to make connections across time periods. By using a range of sources, storytelling, and hands-on experiences, we bring history to life, fostering a love of learning and a deep appreciation for the past. Our goal is for every child to develop key historical skills, such as chronology, inquiry, and interpretation, preparing them to become informed and thoughtful citizens of the future.

Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and British Values 

In History, we support SEMH by fostering empathy, resilience, and a sense of identity through inclusive and reflective learning. We encourage moral discussions on fairness, justice, and diverse perspectives, helping children connect past events to present-day values while developing emotional awareness and critical thinking.
