History

At Bursley, we teach History to:

Fire pupils' curiosity about the past in Britain and the wider world.

Encourage thinking about how the past influences the present.

Foster a sense of identity and an increased understanding of pupils' own position in their own community and the world.

Encourage children to ask questions, think critically, weigh evidence, identify arguments, and develop perspective and judgement.

Identify changes in society and groups and how those changes have occurred.

Allow children to develop an understanding of chronology and knowledge of significant events and people.
