“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.
