History

At Bentley Heath, our history curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity and inspire a love for exploring the past linking to our core curriculum strand of ensuring we have a challenging and knowledge rich curriculum. Following the Primary Knowledge Curriculum (PKC), we aim to develop a deep understanding of historical events, cultures, and influential figures, from ancient civilizations to modern times.

Through engaging lessons, pupils will discover how the world has evolved, the causes and effects of major events, and how history shapes the present and future. Our curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, analysis of primary sources, and an appreciation for diverse perspectives, helping students become thoughtful, informed citizens.

Whether exploring ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Industrial Revolution, or World Wars, students will leave with a strong foundation in historical knowledge and inquiry, preparing them for continued learning and understanding of our shared global heritage.
