At Diamond Hall Infant Academy, we offer an inclusive, hands -on, engaging History curriculum that allows all pupils to reach their full potential. It is carefully tailored to our school, ensuring learning is relevant and meaningful for all of our pupils. History holds an important place in the growth of our children, which gives them a sense of where they have come from and how society has changed and developed. History is a vital subject in order for pupils to gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It inspires pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching and learning in History equips pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. It helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups. |
