History

We believe that history helps children to understand the world around them by finding answers to questions about the past. Our history units form part of a balanced and ambitious history curriculum tailored for the children of Wellsprings.

Children will learn about their own place in history by studying periods in history and historical figures, as well as ‘continuous units’ that link a development over time, e.g. transport. We want children to be inspired to wonder about the great vastness of our historical timeline, ideas that have changed the world and where they, as individuals, fit into this.

To ensure this is relevant to all of our children we study a broad range of history and historical figures that includes a range of significant people and events from a range of communities and cultures.
