Why is history such an important curriculum subject?
We believe that understanding history is essential for every child’s education and personal development. Studying history provides a window into the past, helping students to comprehend how societies have evolved and how past events have shaped the world we live in today. History unlocks great imagination and inspiration, with our children regularly feeding back that they love history at Sacred Heart!
What do you love about leading History at Sacred Heart?
I love leading History at Sacred Heart Primary School, sharing my passion for the past and making history engaging for our children. Our learning is diverse and creative and gives all children the opportunity to engage in a wide range of historical skills and experiences. I will continue to ensure that our curriculum is fun and varied, which children will enjoy and find engaging.
