History at Cotsford
At Cotsford Primary School it is our intent that through the teaching of History and learning about the past we will help our children to gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We want to inspire the children’s curiosity to know more about their personal past and their place in the world. Our teaching will help the children to understand what chronology is as our History curriculum is designed in chronological order. The children will learn some similarities and differences in order to make some comparisons about how people lived in different time periods, including their own. They will focus on how civilisations change over time and become more aware of how diverse societies are and the relationships between different groups. Therefore, helping our children to have respect for other cultures and traditions. We believe that the best way to do this is to provide our children with appropriate trips and experiences in each unit in order to deepen their knowledge of each topic.
