History doesn't change the past, but it is likely to change the future.
History
What we say about History at Coxhoe Primary School...
Subject Ambassadors - Aidan, Sophie, Seth and Alfie.
Alfie - I want to be a history ambassador because I really like the RMS Titanic and I love learning about history because of this.
Aidan - I wanted to be a history ambassador because I love learning about every bit of history and I want to help with any history jobs.
Seth - I want to be a history ambassador because I am interested in history and find learning about it fascinating, especially learning about different time periods.
Sophie - I wanted to be a history ambassador because it helps me connect with my local area. I also love learning about historical figures and significant times in the past.
Pupils
"Black History Month has taught me so many new things and I have learnt so much about why equality is important" - Zac.
"I love learning about Neil Armstrong and I find it very interesting that he went to the moon." - Rosie.
"I cannot believe that Rosa Parks went through such an awful time just because of the colour of her skin!" - Edie.
Curriculum Intent
The intent of history teaching at Coxhoe Primary School is to stimulate the children’s interest and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past.
We teach children a sense of chronology, and through this they develop a sense of identity and a cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. Thus, they learn to value their own and other people’s cultures in modern multicultural Britain and, by considering how people lived in the past, they are better able to make their own life choices today.
In our school, history makes a significant contribution to citizenship education by teaching about how Britain developed as a democratic society.
We teach children to understand how events in the past have influenced our lives today; we also teach them to investigate these past events and, by so doing, to develop the skills of enquiry, analysis, interpretation and problem-solving.
