History

“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”

Martin Luther King Jr

 

 

 

 

“History is the interpretation of the significance that the past has for us.”

Johan Huizinga

 

 

History Vision Statement 

Developing curious, critical and reflective thinkers, who understand that our past shapes our future. 

Intent 

At Botley School, pupils will follow a  History curriculum which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which enables children to enquire, research and analyse in History.   Children will have a coherent understanding of Britain’s history as well as that of the wider world and the chronology that underpins both.   Children will know more, remember more, understand and reflect more.
