Why do we teach History at St Clare's School?
History has always been considered a vital aspect of the curriculum at St Clare's Catholic Primary School. The school’s own rich history, within the context of the local area, is a celebrated and inspiring feature of the school. The history curriculum at St Clare’s draws from and makes full use of the immediate and wider local area (Colchester), enabling children to develop a deeper understanding of the rich history of their local area.
The topics, which form our two-year rolling programme at St Clare's are, informed by the National Curriculum and take into consideration the children’s interests as well as the context of the local area. The curriculum at St Clare's is carefully planned and structured to ensure that current learning is linked to prior knowledge and that the school’s approaches are informed by current ideas.
