History is taught in an engaging and purposeful way at Gosford Park Primary School, where pupils learn by linking new knowledge and skills to those previously learned. Our curriculum includes study of the local area and how the past has impacted the area in which we live. Pupils have the opportunity to study artefacts and other historical sources; asking questions and interpreting what they find. 

Throughout their time with us, the pupils will revisit our key knowledge threads as part of each history topic: Cause and Consequence; Legacy and Achievement; Similarities and Differences; and Society and Culture. Alongside chronological understanding, these key threads enable the children to learn not only key facts, but the impact of historical events, leaders and civilisations.
