History intent

At Bishop John Robinson Primary School, our high-quality History curriculum is designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning by helping pupils gain a coherent understanding of Britain’s past and the wider world. We aim to build strong foundations in historical knowledge and skills, while also fostering positive attitudes towards learning through engaging and meaningful experiences.

Rooted in faith and guided by our school’s values, our teaching places a strong emphasis on understanding and appreciating both global history and the unique heritage of our local area. By fostering a strong connection with our community, we help children see history as something living, relevant, and connected to their own lives. Every child is valued, and we strive to ensure they have the confidence and support needed to reach their full potential. We actively build upon prior knowledge and experiences, allowing students to deepen their understanding and grow as thoughtful, inquisitive learners.
