"We are not makers of history. We are made by history."
Martin Luther King Jr., minister and activist.
At Wanborough Primary School, we believe teaching history gives children the skills and knowledge to interpret and understand the past. By teaching children about societies and cultures from the past, children learn to value their own and other people’s cultures in a modern, multi-cultural Britain. They can apply their knowledge and skills about the past to the present day and make comparisons about then and now.
Where possible, children will have an active role in their learning, thus stimulating curiosity and interest, aiming to inspire a lifelong love of learning. We also aim to deliver the skills necessary to interpret the past and where events occurred. History is taught through topics and enrichment experiences throughout the year to encourage and passion and enjoyment for all children.
