History

Bringing the Past to Life

"The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future." Theodore Roosevelt (1858 –1919), 26th President of the USA

History at Lanercost

We are fortunate to live in a place that is rich in the history of our nation and we have a wealth of hands-on learning experiences on our door step which we try to incorporate into our curriculum.


We believe History is an important subject and making local links is vital as we want children to understand how the past has shaped the place in which they live, and how they will continue to shape it in the future.

Our History Curriculum

We want to give children a secure knowledge of the chronology of history, as well as enabling them to have deeper learning experiences of some of the more significant turning points in national and global world history.


We aim to equip our children with the skills to think as Historians by examining historical artefacts and primary sources and helping to them understand that historical events can be interpreted in different ways. Children are encouraged to ask searching questions and investigate and research answers.
