History at Oldhill
‘History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time’ (National curriculum, 2014).
At Oldhill children study a variety of historical periods within Britain and the wider world, reflecting the diversity of our community and providing an insight to how history has shaped our lives. Through organised trips outside of the school, children are able to envision, recreate and experience historical events. We study people who have been inspirational throughout history; enabling them to see how they can overcome obstacles and achieve great things in life. Through this, children develop a range of historical understanding and skills.
