At Byker Primary School, we know a high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Our history curriculum inspires pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching equips pupils with the knowledge to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. We know that 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.
