History

History Overview

At St Werburgh’s History is taught through topic-led work. Our curriculum overviews show the topics taught.  We make these topics meaningful, relevant and exciting by having visitors in or going out to engage in first hand experiences.  

Through History we aim to equip children with the skills needed to find out about any period in the past. In addition to acquiring knowledge about other times and places, children learn to use a variety of historical sources, including pictures, photos, documents and artefacts; and to present what they find out in different ways. This develops their investigative skills and gives them an understanding of chronology.
