History

At Cawston Grange Primary School, our History curriculum is designed to ignite children’s curiosity about the past.

We bring history to life by immersing children in realistic experiences linked to the different topic areas. Through educational visits, both in and out of school, and the use of artefacts, children gain an in-depth understanding of significant events in World and British history as well as appreciating how things change and develop over time.

Alongside the teaching of historical knowledge, there is a high focus on the development of specific historical skills where children are encouraged to ask probing questions, carry out research, consider the accuracy of accounts from the past, organise and link their developing knowledge and communicate their learning in a variety of ways.
