History
At St Helens CE Primary School, our History curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity, foster a deep understanding of the past, and equip children with the skills to make informed decisions about the future. Grounded in our nurturing Christian values, we ensure every child is supported to reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society.
Our knowledge-rich, progressive approach to History takes pupils on a journey through key periods, events, and significant figures from both British and global history. By exploring themes such as equality, diversity, and justice, our learners gain a strong sense of identity and an understanding of how the past shapes the world they live in today.
Through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and critical enquiry, we inspire confident, inquisitive learners who develop essential skills in questioning, analysis, and empathy. From studying ancient civilizations to learning about more recent historical events, our pupils build a strong foundation that prepares them for the challenges of the future.
At St Helens, we believe that every child should shine, and our History curriculum plays a key role in nurturing their potential, inspiring a love for learning, and helping them grow into informed, compassionate individuals ready to contribute positively to the world.
