TTB Historians

As Historians we are learning about how people and events from our past shape our present and future.

‘People without knowledge of their past culture, history and origin, is like a tree without roots’

At TPA, we use historical enquiry skills to allow us to delve into the past and learn how the world has changed. We teach History in a way that inspires our children to want to know more about the past. 

Our aim for history at TPA is to help pupils gain a knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We want our historians to be curious about the past by asking questions, thinking critically and considering evidence, using this knowledge to think about how we can learn from this today.

Children should be able to use a wide ranging historical vocabulary and make use of a range of sources to explain how people and events fit within the chronology of the past. Children will explore connections and trends and ask questions about change, cause and effect, similarity and difference and significance.

Our history teaching meets the aims of the national curriculum and ensures that all TPA children are able to:
  • gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world 
  • develop a sense of chronology and the passing of time and an ability to place significant events and societies within it
  • understand that history is based on evidence and different kinds of historical sources and that there may be a different interpretation of those facts 
  • ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement
  • begin to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and the relationship between different groups 
  • draw comparisons and make connections between different time periods and their own lives.
