Introduction to the subject leader

My name is Mrs Thomas and I am currently the subject leader for History at St Paul's. I'm really pleased about this because I absolutely love history! I can remember learning all about Boudica and Roman Britain when I was at school. At St Paul's, we study some great history topics. I love teaching Vikings in Year 4. Children have plenty of opportunities throughout their time at St Paul's to experience school trips and visitors. Keep an eye on this page for new content and important documents!

How we teach history at St Paul's

History is "blocked" into topics so that links with other areas of the curriculum can be made. During any half term, either history of geography is likely to be taught. We usually cover one or the other in any half term. The curriculum may be organised slightly differently in EYFS. 

We follow Lancashire Education Authority's "Key Learning" objective documents as well as National Curriculum to ensure that the progression through historical objectives and concepts is thorough and sequential. The historical concepts which we have elected to teach through our curriculum have been carefully selected to reflect the needs and interests of our children and we have selected them with the support of a Lancashire Education Authority History Consultant.
