At Breage School, we are committed to providing a primary history curriculum that is underpinned by our three curriculum drivers: aspiration, curiosity, and diversity. Our history curriculum aims to capture, celebrate and share the stories of our ancestors and significant people and places within our corner of Cornwall, as well as events further afield.
“The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.” Theodore Roosevelt
At Breage School, we believe that history is a fundamental part of understanding the diverse world around us and our place in it. It is through the study of our history curriculum that our students gain valuable insights into the past, which in turn helps them make sense of the present and navigate the challenges of the future. We inspire our students to become historians of their: own lives; their family’s; their locality’s; to explore the rich tapestry of human experiences, and to be curious and learn from the lessons of the past.
We aim for our children to develop a curiosity and fascination to find out more about our local past and that of Britain’s and the wider world. We strive to ensure all children have a fundamental understanding of key periods in history and to learn to ask appropriate questions about why things happen in the past and the impact of those events. Our teaching equips pupils with a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Children will learn about ancient civilisations and empires, changes in living memory and beyond living memory, learn about the lives of significant people and events in the past.
