History
At Much Woolton our History curriculum is carefully mapped out so that all pupils are equipped with an understanding of the past that paves the way for their future. Throughout their journey in history, children will acquire a breath of knowledge of places, people and significant events through time. Children will be given the opportunity to develop their ability to ask perceptive questions, think critically, analyse evidence, examine arguments, develop judgements and understand differing perspectives.
How is History a sacred subject?
History encourages all learners to discover the truth of the past and to have a deep understanding of the present, which in turn will enable them to make informed and wise decisions for creating a better future. History helps students find their place in the story of humankind. Students are helped to develop critical thinking skills as they delve into the rich variety of available sources. Learning to analyse and critique information and data encourages the ability to discern facts and reach conclusions, matching evidence with truth. Learning from the past helps to facilitate a better future for the common good of all God’s people.
