At Holy Trinity, we aim for a high quality history curriculum which inspires pupils' curiosity and fascination about Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We want children to enjoy and love learning about history by gaining this knowledge and skills, not just through experiences in the classroom, but also with the use of fieldwork and educational visits.

Documents are available to view at the bottom of the page (overview of topics, progression of skills etc...)

Here are some examples of History in our school:
