• History
  History

  “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” - George Santayana.

  We aim to bring history to life and empower pupils to learn from the past, both inside and outside the classroom. We want the children to see history as an interesting and exciting topic that they look forward to taking part in every week. They will gain this enthusiasm and knowledge through studying a wide range of time periods, cultures and people. This will allow them to achieve a secure understanding of chronology, the validity of primary and secondary sources and be able to make links between the topics they have explored.

  RE is a necessary part of a ‘broad and balanced curriculum’ and must be provided for all registered pupils in state-funded schools in England. Every child has a legal entitlement to RE where we teach a variety of beliefs and traditions based on a locally agreed syllabus, recommended by a local standing advisory committee for RE (SACRE.)

  Whilst the teaching of R.E is essential for children to learn about different religions and beliefs, promoting values of mutual respect in a diverse society, it is important to note that parents have the right to withdraw from part of / all of R.E. If you wish to withdraw your child from the teaching of RE, both partially or in its entirety, please contact the school office.

  Our curriculum offers each pupil 2 hours of high quality sports per week. Each subject is taught for half a school term, with specific skills being demonstrated, explored, practised and repeated. Intra School Games Competitions are included at the final stages of each subject, so every pupil has the opportunity to regularly compete in structured competitions against their peers.
