Our Vision: A place where our children, adults and community can grow and thrive rooted in Kindness, Fellowship and Confidence.
Statement of Intent:
At Stanhope Barrington C of E Primary School, we ensure our History curriculum develops an understanding of local and British history, its values and the wider world, focusing on an understanding of chronology and knowledge. The children use a range of sources and resources, including visits and visitors, to enable them to become characters from the past, living in that time. Children are encouraged to dig deeper and be inquisitive to find out more, just as a Historian would. We provide them with the opportunities to understand and use abstract historical terms. Themed events, such as Black History month and War week, are important and used to highlight the key events that have happened and how we have changed and adapted for the future based upon what we have learnt. Regular visits to our local historical sites encourage the children to look at our local area and that of the North East and how this has shaped our history.
