 In line with the National Curriculum, the
children are helped to develop an awareness of the past and to investigate changes in
people’s way of life in Britain and elsewhere. Children learn about local, national,
European and world history.
 For the youngest children, learning about the past comes through stories, and through
topics such as my family.
For older children topics include:
Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings , voyages of discovery, Tudors and Stuarts, Victorians and
Britain since 1930 .
Besides knowing and understanding some aspects of history the children begin to develop
strategies for interpreting history; to form judgements about the validity and reliability
of historical sources; to learn about the lives of different kinds of famous people; to
learn about the past from a wide range of sources including stories, artefacts and
pictures.
Our bank of resources for teaching history, including books, artefacts and computer
programs, is designed to be easily accessible, and is currently being further expanded.
We use many local historical buildings and sites, and our school building is itself an
historical resource used by our children and those from other schools. We also use the
wonderful resources available in London and there are many trips out of school to places
such as the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of London.
