At d’Auvergne, our aim is to provide a history curriculum that carefully balances skills and knowledge. We want to support the children in understanding the history of the island they live in whilst developing their curiosity and providing them with a sense of belonging.
Furthermore, we endeavour to support our children in developing empathy, tolerance and respect for different cultures, religions and societies around the world. We aim to provide enriching experiences through visits to local site of historical significance as well as embracing the children’s own lines of enquiry within the subject.
Additionally, we want to provide our children with opportunities learn skills that will enable them to become effective and informed communicators, so that they are ‘Fit for the Future’.
Our history curriculum aligns with the United Nations for the Rights of the Child, ensuring that all children can access their rights to their own identity (8), share their thoughts freely (13) and to an education that helps them to fully develop and be respectful of each other (29).
