History Subject Leader: Mrs Doyle

 

At Moorthorpe, History will help us to unlock the past!

 

Our History curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:

- learn about a wide range of historical events; locally, nationally an internationally.

- develop inquisitive minds with regards to what has gone before

- appreciate and respect previous generations

- are skilled historians, able to learn about key periods from the past using source material to determine how and why events took place

- visit local sites of historical importance such as Pontefract Castle

- understand the importance of museums as curators of knowledge and artefacts

- experience history brought alive within the school through specially organised visitors and themed events
