History

At Cherry Tree Primary School, we provide all our children with a broad and balanced history curriculum, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, class, aptitude or disability. History topics are delivered through learning challenges linked with key texts as a focus and stimulus for learning. This approach provides opportunities for first hand experiences, thinking skills and cross-curricular links.

We believe a high-quality history education will help our children gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It will inspire our children’s curiosity to know more about the past. Through our teaching and learning, we encourage our children to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement.
