History at Ingleby Mill Primary School

As history is often an abstract concept for lots of children, our aim is to provide an engaging curriculum that blends both substantive and disciplinary knowledge to ensure that the children of our school are equipped with the tools that they need to place their historical learning into both broad and specific contexts. They will do this by revisiting prior learning to understand the differing natures and contexts of concepts and will engage in historically-driven activities and experiences so as to try and understand what the past was like.

Our aim is for the children to leave with a desire to learn more about the past and foster a lifelong passion for history that helps them understand the world that they live in now and the world that has come before them.

VALUES – Across all areas of learning we value:
Happiness – when we enjoy what we are doing, we learn at our best
Confidence – when we have confidence, we will always ‘have a go’
Creativity – when our creativity is developed, we can think and learn in imaginative ways
Perseverance – when we are encouraged to keep going, even when the going gets tough, we develop resilience, positive outlooks and self-belief
Respect – when we are respectful, we see things through the eyes of others
