History
LOVE TO LEARN, TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
"Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths." Psalm 25:4
At All Saints' we believe that a high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope (Romans 15:4)

History Artefacts
This year every class has had the opportunity to have a look at artefacts from the period of history they are studying. The children love this and use their inference skills to try and decide what each artefact was made from, what it was and how it was used.
