‘A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.’
Marcus Garvey
At Colwich history is an essential and valued part of our curriculum. Learning history opens up our children’s understanding of past civilisations, beliefs, societies, conflicts, cultures and settlements. This helps to broaden and widen their understanding of the world around them. Through our curriculum we intend to ignite children’s curiosity about the past so that they: ask questions and want to know why; seek a deeper understanding of what they have learned and make links between the events of the past and their impact on our lives today. Through their study of local, national and internationally significant events and people and through finding out about how and why the world, our country, culture and local community have developed over time, children will begin to understand how the past has shaped the present. We want them to relate the experiences of others to our school values, in the events, time periods and significant individuals studied.
