At Broadbottom CE(VC) Primary School we provide a broad, balanced and thought provoking curriculum; ensuring the progressive development of historical concepts, knowledge and skills; and a love for history. We aim to inspire in pupils, a curiosity and fascination about history that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. A high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world (The 2014 Primary National Curriculum in England).

The teaching of history is based around The Dimensions Curriculum and taught through thematic units. This approach helps pupils to develop the skills and knowledge required in history, whilst also making connections with other subjects and themes.
