At Norton C of E Primary School history links closely with our school vision and the history of our local area is celebrated.
Our history curriculum equips children with the knowledge of our local history, as well as important and significant historic events in the wider world. Teachers carefully plan and structure history topics to ensure current learning is linked to previous learning and is progressive throughout the year groups. In line with the National Curriculum, we ensure children at Norton gain a ‘coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world which helps to stimulate pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past’. Children ‘begin 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’. Children leave Norton with a deeper understanding of historic events and how the world they live in has changed over time.
We are fully inclusive and appropriate adaptations are made for children with additional needs so that they can access the curriculum.
