History at Rickley Park

At Rickley Park Primary School, we aim to inspire the children’s curiosity to have a better understanding of what has happened in the past. The historical knowledge will be relatable to the children, and we will encourage them to be aspirational for their future. Our History Curriculum across the school is split into 4 main strands which are:

How to support your child’s learning at home?
To nurture curiosity around history, you can discuss and research different historical eras and people. Exploring the world together and helping your child make connections between historical events and everyday life can deepen their understanding of how the past has shaped life today. Reading books, watching educational videos, using online learning platforms (such as Oak National Academy), or visiting historical sites / places are all excellent ways to spark interest about the past and to learn about the relevance and impact of the past on today. The overview above allows you to see what your child has already learnt, what they are currently learning and what they will learn in the future.
