History
Welcome to our History page
I enjoy bringing the past to life for our students. Whether it’s through fun lessons, trips or school-wide events, I love sparking curiosity and helping children see how history shapes the world around us. - Miss Lilley
Our History Curriculum
At Penwortham Primary School, we aim to provide a high-quality history curriculum that ignites curiosity and fosters a love for learning about the past. Our intent is to ensure that all children develop a secure understanding of historical concepts, key events, and influential figures that have shaped the world in which they live. We strive to deepen their cultural awareness and to provide them with a sense of identity through diverse historical narratives.
At Penwortham Primary School we aim to enable our pupils to achieve excellence in History as follows:
Aspire: To cultivate skills such as critical thinking, analysis, and source evaluation among pupils, enabling them to form independent conclusions and develop informed opinions.
Belong: To ensure our curriculum reflects the diversity of our society, addressing a range of perspectives and contributions from various cultural backgrounds, thereby promoting respect and understanding amongst all children.
Care: To deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that covers local, national, and global history, ensuring that children understand the connections between their own lives and the histories of others.
Discover: We encourage pupils to aspire to be thoughtful and informed citizens, to belong within a community that celebrates diversity, to care for the past as a means of understanding the present, and to discover the richness of different histories.
