History
At St. Ignatius, the History curriculum aims to inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. Our high quality curriculum has been developed to provide pupils with a comprehensive knowledge of Britain’s past and develop their understanding of significant locations in the wider world and key events in world history. The curriculum for History at St. Ignatius has been designed to equip pupils with the skills to ask perceptive questions, think critically, consider evidence, and develop a rounded perspective and judgement. We seek to broaden children’s real-life experiences both inside and outside of school through educational visits, visitors, experimentation, exploration and discovery. Within lessons, our children acquire a range of knowledge and skills in History which they can then apply to other subjects and in a variety of situations Furthermore, it is our aim that through historical learning, children will become accountable citizens within their community, understanding their role in protecting our world and environment and knowing how they can cause positive change and development as they grow.
