History is part of our Humanities Team.
Our History Lead is Mrs Kirkby.
At Butterstile we aim to:
- Develop pupil’s knowledge of significant events, key individuals and time periods, through which the children will learn about local history, Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
- Develop pupil’s historical enquiry skills, encourage them to think critically, make judgements and comparisons and draw conclusions about what life was like in the past and how it has changed over time.
- Teach pupils how historical events and key individuals have impacted upon their life today.
- Develop children’s historical curiosity through the use of a variety of sources such as artefacts, photographs and people.
- Provide enhanced opportunities and experiences within History for disadvantaged children to broaden their horizons, raise aspirations and enable all to access the curriculum fully.
