History

History at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School aims to develop historical skills and concepts which are transferable to whichever period of history is being studied and will equip children for future learning giving them the ability to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence and develop perspective and judgement.  Through our History teaching we promote a respect and understanding of different cultures and practices, looking at history in our own locality to understand how this is important to us. All children are encouraged to develop their investigative skills using sources to find out about the past and begin to undertake their own research, raising questions to deepen their knowledge and understanding of history and how we can use these skills to continue to learn about the past.
