History Statement of intent:

At Echelford, our History curriculum has two main aims: to equip children with the critical and observational skills to analyse evidence about the past, and to widen the knowledge and understanding they hold about the history of their world. We aim to inspire a love of learning about the past in order to build a secure chronological understanding that includes key facts as well as develops empathy towards others. Within this, we aim to give the children the tools they need to begin forming this knowledge on their own through teaching them how to develop opinions, consider perspectives, ask questions and examine information they are given.
