History
At Ormesby primary School, we believe that history helps children to understand the world around them and their place within it. Through a carefully-sequenced, knowledge-rich curriculum, pupils develop a secure understanding of the past, from local and national history to significant events and civilisations from around the world.
Children are encouraged to think like historians by asking questions, analysing evidence, comparing different periods of time and drawing conclusions. Through carefully planned lessons, educational visits and enriching experiences, pupils build a strong chronological understanding and develop key skills such as enquiry, critical thinking and communication.
Our history curriculum is designed to be inclusive, progressive and engaging. We aim to foster curiosity about the past while helping children appreciate diversity, understand change over time and learn from the experiences of those who came before us. By bringing history to life, we equip our pupils with the knowledge and cultural understanding they need to become informed and responsible citizens. Furthermore, we strive for our pupils to leave Ormesby Primary School as enthusiastic historians with a sense of identity, noting how events and significant people through history have helped influence the lives we live today and the challenges of our time.
