History
At Merebrook, the History curriculum develops children’s understanding of different time periods, events and significant individuals. We pride ourselves on offering our children a passion for History which develops curiosity about the past and promotes understanding of how and why people interpret the past in different ways. The teaching of History is carefully planned within each year group so that it builds upon prior knowledge.
As a school, we aim to provide a wide range of first-hand experiences including theme days, role play, educational visits, and visiting speakers. This allows children to learn key facts and skills; they will develop an understanding of chronology and will have opportunity to compare and contrast events and lifestyles of the past with our lives today.
Our aim as a school is to ensure that our pupils are exposed to a variety of significant events and people in the past, both locally and further afield. Children will begin to understand how these events and people have shaped our lives today. Our stimulating lessons provide children the opportunity to develop a passion for History.
