History

Bringing the past to life!

History teaching at LGPS focuses on enabling children to think as historians.

We aim to:

Connect our children to historical places in Bradford, Britain and the wider world
Provide our children with a knowledge-based, immersive and engaging curriculum that inspires their curiosity to learn more about the past
Develop a sense of chronology
Plan topics that are informed by the National Curriculum and are sensitive to children’s interests, as well as the context of the local area
Extend our children’s vocabulary of the passage of time and of everyday objects
Support our children to develop historical elements: cause, consequences, change, similarities, differences and significance
Develop our children’s knowledge of people, events, situations and developments
Enable children to know about significant events in British history, and to appreciate how things have changed over time
Offer opportunities to tell stories of the past
Use a variety of primary and secondary sources, stories, digital technology, artefacts, trips, visitors and experiences to immerse our children in the past
