History

At Longworth, we endeavour to inspire pupils’ curiosity about the past and to teach History and historical enquiry skills that will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain's past and that of the wider world. Within a broad and balanced curriculum, we want our pupils to learn about history that is relevant to them locally, nationally and internationally, in order to gain a sense of continuity, identity, heritage, and diversity. We equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. 

In addition, Longworth Primary School’s high quality historical studies are enriched by:

• Access to replica artefacts.
• Calendar events- (e.g. Remembrance Day, Black History Month, Guy Fawkes Night, other anniversaries).
• Educational experiences and trips - (e.g. Corinium Museum, Ashmolean Museum, local walks and studies).
• Oral History projects.
