History

Intent

At Great Missenden School, we believe that History is a vital subject that provides children with the keys to unlock their understanding of the world around them. Through exploring the past, children will:

Unlock their full potential: By developing critical thinking, research, and investigative skills, children will become independent learners who can analyse information, formulate questions, and draw their own conclusions.

Look through windows into the wider world: We will delve into diverse historical periods and cultures, fostering global awareness and an appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experience.

Reflect on the big questions of life: By studying significant events and individuals, children will explore themes of change and continuity, power and authority, conflict and cooperation, and the impact of the past on the present. This will encourage them to look at themselves in the mirror and consider their place in the world and their responsibility as global citizens.
