At St Charles we want all our children to be confident, inquisitive and reflective learners who take risks and persevere. We therefore encourage learners to explore interpretations of the past and develop their ability to enquire about significant aspects of the history of the world they live in.

We use the National Curriculum for history as the basis for our teaching and we cover all of the content specified. The Purpose of study and aims of the History programmes of study for Key Stages 1 and 2, accurately express why learning of history is important for our children.
