History
We are historians
We will inspire pupils to develop wonderment and curiosity about past eras and events throughout the history of Petts Wood, London, The United Kingdom and of the wider world. By using CUSP themes we will build memorable experiences that enhance learning and understanding.
We teach the full National Curriculum for History. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7c2917e5274a1f5cc762cf/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_History.pdf

In local history we study the history of the school, the history of the railway and the impact of bombing on the local area in WWII.
History in EYFS
In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), history skills develop through Understanding the World. Children explore concepts of past and present, connecting personal history to wider contexts. They identify similarities and differences, sequence events, and explore fairy tales, gaining insights into societal changes. Comparing toys from different eras helps them understand changes and consequences.
