Intent:

At Great Malvern, we want our children to become historians and to develop a love and respect for history. We will stimulate their interest and understanding of how people lived in the past.

Children will learn to value their own and other people’s cultures and begin to understand how modern life has been influenced by events of the past and how this may impact the future.

Children will develop historical skills which can be applied across all the periods of history being studied, as they progress through their school life. They will understand how to ask questions, interpret evidence, and make comparisons in order to understand the key concepts covered throughout the curriculum. By understanding chronology, children will make links and connections across the topics taught and apply these as they learn how societies, cultures and civilisations developed.
