History

“The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.” – Theodore Roosevelt
In line with the national curriculum, the history curriculum at Beaumont aims to help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It strives to inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past and equip them to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. It should help pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups. It also should help children gain a sense of their own identity within a social, political, cultural and economic background. Our own school site’s rich and interesting past is a celebrated and inspiring feature of the history curriculum at Beaumont. We draw from and make full use of the immediate and wider local area, enabling children to develop a deep understanding of the history of their locality.
