At Sampford Arundel and Stawley Primary Schools it is our intention to inspire children’s curiosity about the past.  We teach children to understand Britain’s past and that of the wider world.

A Historian at Sampford Arundel and Stawley Primary Schools will:

• Develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history.
• Have a greater insight into the world and community in which we live.
• Love finding out about the past, gaining an understanding of past achievements, events and significant individuals.
• Be able to think critically, ask perceptive questions and make their own judgement from a range of sources.
• Obtain their own sense of self and identity within their own locality and the wider world.
• Become increasingly aware of how history has shaped the world we live in.
• Develop enquiry skills which will allow them to follow and investigate their own historical interests.
• Be able to make links between different historical time periods in order to compare and contrast, using their prior knowledge.
• Have an understanding of sources and will develop critical skills to evaluate these.

Expand their vocabulary and be able to apply this to historical learning.
