History at Yealand
At Yealand Church of England Primary School, our History curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of learning about the past. We aim for all pupils to develop a deep understanding of how historical events, people, and civilisations have influenced our lives, while reflecting on themes of courage, resilience, community, and justice.
Our intent is for all children to:
- Become curious, confident, and reflective historians who can think critically about the past.
- Develop chronological awareness and an understanding of cause, consequence, and continuity.
- Learn to use and interpret evidence, evaluate sources, and construct balanced arguments.
- Recognise how historical events, innovation, and leadership have shaped communities and the wider world.
- Appreciate diverse perspectives and understand their place within a global story.
- Live out our values of “Let all you do be done in love” by showing empathy and respect when exploring people’s lives and experiences.
