History

Subject Statement of Intent

At Banks St Stephen’s CE Primary School, our history curriculum is designed to develop curiosity about the past and provide a coherent understanding of Britain’s history and that of the wider world. Rooted in our Christian values of belonging, serving, and succeeding, we aim to inspire pupils to explore how history shapes their identity, their community, and the world around them. History helps children understand the complexity of societies, the process of change, and the diversity of people’s experiences. Through the theme of Land and Legacy, we explore how the past has shaped our local area of Banks, the nation, and the world.
