At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we believe that the teaching of 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. History helps pupils to know their place in the story of the world.
This enables us to live, love and learn about the world and people around us.
History is a sacred subject:
History enables pupils to know the universal story they are a part of:
Below are some examples of how our teaching of History contributes to our whole school pupil characteristics:
Pupil Characteristic | Key Word | History contributes to this by providing opportunities to…… |
The leaders of tomorrow | LEAD | Using historical knowledge and understanding to inform their views, opinions and decisions |
Advocates | STAND | Stand up for those that have be historically disadvantaged |
Powerful orators | SPEAK | Sharing stories of the past to identify and speak up for those that have been overlooked and unheard before |
Gospel activists | ACT | Celebrate where Gospel values have been displayed in the past |
Inquisitive learners | ASK | Generate their own historical questions and work hard to investigate and discover the answers, basing these on evidence |
Creative problem solvers | THINK | Use knowledge and attempts of the past to solve issues they are passionate about today |
Inclusive team builders | SHARE | Learn about a range of empires and peoples in the past |
