History

History is part of every aspect of our daily life. All parts of our culture and way of life are the outcome of History. Every part of the curriculum is thus influenced by History. In working to offer children an education that helps them to make sense of the world in which they live, and makes them ready for adult life, it is impossible to ignore History. The Federation of Middleham (VA) & Spennithorne (VC) CE Primary Schools follows the national curriculum and Early Years documentation to ensure knowledge; skills and understanding are taught throughout all key stages. The school has created its own long and medium term planning which details the topics, objectives, knowledge, skills and vocabulary which should be covered. Through this long term planning, the national curriculum breath of study for history is fully covered.

Our core aims are to provide teaching and learning opportunities through the history curriculum that empowers the children to be:

ASPIRATIONAL

RESPECTFUL

RESILIENT

We believe that by having these three aims at the root, will equip our pupils to LIVE FRUITFUL LIVES and to LEARN, LOVE and GROW.
