Throughout our history lessons, we develop children to think like historians: to understand an historical event in its time and place, to explore the historical significance of people and events in the past and their impact right into our modern world. We teach our children to be thoughtful and questioning of evidence and accepted interpretations. Above all, we want our children to understand that history is never simple, often controversial and that one view or perspective will never give the whole picture.

Our history curriculum covers local, national and worldwide topics within and beyond the National Curriculum. We develop knowledge and understanding alongside skills of enquiry and interpretation.

We take advantage of the access we have in London to world-class institutions such as the British Museum, Museum of London and local museums such as the Lawn Tennis Association.

Children experience fun first-hand learning opportunities ranging from exploring artefacts, pictures, documents and maps to interviewing local residents and interrogating school records.
