History

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” Marcus Garvey

At Locks Heath Junior School, we aim for children to gain a better knowledge and understanding of the world by understanding its past; children will realise that our understanding of the past is constructed from a vast variety of 'stories' about events that can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Through an enquiry-based approach to learning, children will become passionate and inspired historians, who think critically, ask perceptive questions, weigh up arguments, look at stories from different perspectives and come to their own reasoned conclusions.
