History
In history, a great volume is unrolled for our instruction, drawing the materials of future wisdom from the past errors and infirmities of mankind.

At Woolpit Primary Academy, we are committed to developing a robust and engaging History curriculum that is coherently sequenced to aid teachers in progressively covering the necessary skills and concepts outlined in the national curriculum.
Our intent is to cultivate both substantive and disciplinary knowledge, allowing children to think of themselves as historians by building a solid understanding of chronology and significant events.
We inspire historical thinking by encouraging pupils to investigate sources and critically evaluate different perspectives on history. Embracing local narratives, such as the legendary tale of the Green Children, fosters personal connections to broader historical contexts. Additionally, we promote inclusivity by ensuring diverse cultural backgrounds are represented, fostering respect within our community. Ultimately, we strive to instil a love for history through engaging activities, making the subject both meaningful and enjoyable for all students.
