Curriculum Intent statement for History

At Weddington Primary School, our History curriculum aims to instil a deep understanding of the past, fostering a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the diverse narratives that have shaped our world. We seek to develop pupils’ critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling them to engage with historical events and contexts thoughtfully. Our curriculum is designed to inspire children to aspire to learn more, persevere through challenging inquiries, and reflect on the lessons of history.


Aligned with Weddington values, our intent is to:

  • Inspire children through engaging and thought-provoking historical studies.
  • Cultivate perseverance as pupils investigate complex historical issues and contexts.
  • Promote respect for diverse cultures and perspectives by exploring global histories.
  • Encourage truth by teaching children to analyse sources critically and discern fact from interpretation.
  • Foster mindfulness in understanding the impact of history on present and future contexts.
  • Support reflection to help children connect historical lessons with their personal experiences and aspirations
