At Hope School, we aim to provide inspiring and engaging lessons which bring History to life for our children enabling them to think like ‘Historians’.

We are committed to developing our children’s passion for History through providing enriched learning opportunities which include an array of educational visits 

The teaching of History at Hope School is intended to equip our pupils to ask pertinent questions about the past, analyse evidence, think critically, appreciate different perspectives and develop informed judgements. This will enable pupils to have transferable skills across other subjects. 

We believe our pupils should be taught to understand how Britain has influenced and has been influenced by the wider world. In addition, our curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to explore their own identity through local history topics. Our History curriculum is intended to help pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups. 

What can you look forward to about learning History at Hope School?
