At Holy Trinity Rosehill C of E Primary, the study of history ignites children’s curiosity about the past in Britain and the wider world. Through finding out about how and why the world, our country, culture and local community have developed over time, children understand how the past influences the present. We provide opportunities for the children to ask questions, think critically,weigh evidence, sift arguments and develop perspective and judgement.
The delivery of History follows the requirements of the National Curriculum, whilst being tailored to the needs and interests of our children, using our locality to enrich opportunities and experiences for all. Lessons are carefully planned and sequenced to allow all children to make progress building on previous knowledge and skills. We plan/organise high quality experiences for the children to further appreciate the impact of History
By the end of their Primary education, children should have developed:
- An understanding of the chronology of the British Isles and other important periods of History
- Awareness of how historical events have shaped the world we currently live in
- As historians, children will learn lessons from history to influence the decisions they make in their lives in the future
- A passion for history and an enthusiastic engagement in learning, which develops their sense of curiosity about the past and their understanding of how and why people interpret the past in different ways
- A respect for historical evidence and the ability to make robust and critical use of it to support their explanations and judgements

I really enjoyed learning about the Great fire of London and designing our own houses.
I enjoyed taking part in a Stone Age workshop – it was so much fun!
I love the way our local history is brought to life. It’s amazing knowing what was happening in Stockton during WW2.
