The national curriculum for history aims to ensure pupils gain knowledge and an understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world, and equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. Through historical enquiry, children are able to investigate past events by analysing primary and secondary historical sources and using evidence from these sources to develop an informed explanation about the past.
