The importance of
history
History fires pupils' curiosity about the past in Britain and the
wider world. Pupils consider how the past influences the present,
what past societies were like, how these societies organised their
politics, and what beliefs and cultures influenced people's
actions. As they do this, pupils develop a chronological framework
for their knowledge of significant events and people. They see the
diversity of human experience, and understand more about themselves
as individuals and members of society. What they learn can
influence their decisions about personal choices, attitudes and
values.
In history, pupils find evidence, weigh it up and reach their own
conclusions. To do this they need to be able to research, sift
through evidence, and argue for their point of view - skills that
are prized in adult life. |
