The Importance of History
History fires pupils' curiosity and imagination, moving and inspiring them with the dilemmas, choices and beliefs of people in
the past. It helps pupils develop their own identities through an understanding of history at personal, local, national and
international levels. It helps them to ask and answer questions of the present by engaging with the past.
Pupils find out about the history of their community, Britain, Europe and the world. They develop a chronological overview
that enables them to develop a coherent understanding of the past and to make connections within and across different
periods and societies. They investigate Britain's relationships with the wider world, and relate past events to the present
day.
As they develop their understanding of the nature of historical study, pupils ask and answer important questions, evaluate
evidence, identify and analyse different interpretations of the past, and learn to substantiate any arguments and
judgements they make. They appreciate why they are learning what they are learning and can debate its significance.
History prepares pupils for the future, equipping them with knowledge and skills that are prized in adult life, enhancing
employability and developing an ability to take part in a democratic society. It encourages mutual understanding of the
historic origins of our ethnic and cultural diversity, and helps pupils become confident and questioning individuals.
