History

At Greenleas Primary School every child matters. We want our children to be confident, motivated and independent learners who have respect for others. Our rich curriculum is the means of a high quality education, providing all with good opportunities for enjoyment and achievement.

It is our aim at Greenleas, through the teaching of History, to stimulate the children’s interest and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past. We aim for the children to develop a sense of identity and a cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. We teach children to understand how events in the past have influenced our lives today; we also teach the children to investigate these past events and, by so doing, develop the skills of enquiry, analysis, interpretation and problem solving. As children progress through the school, we provide them with a chronological understanding of the past.
