History at Mauldeth Road |
|
Our History Curriculum aims to inspire in children a curiosity to learn about the past and understand its relevance today. We want to provide children with knowledge of local, UK and global history and to develop their chronological understanding. Through learning about significant historical figures and events, children can begin to understand their impact and legacy. We encourage an appreciation of the fact that history can be told from a variety of cultural and political perspectives and nurture critical thinking towards past events and how these have shaped the world we live in today. |
