History is about real people and real events of the past. At Lytham Church of England Primary School, we strive to give students a well-rounded knowledge of significant people, places and events from previous eras through an ambitious curriculum that is accessible to all. We aim to build on each child’s cultural capital, understanding of the history of Britain and the wider world, and their knowledge of their own locality.

The curriculum has been built around the study of people, both locally and nationally, and has been designed so that children are revisiting learning, thus enabling them to use this embedded knowledge and vocabulary in a range of contexts.

Our curriculum achieves embedded knowledge through carefully planned and repeated substantive and disciplinary concepts. These concepts thread through our history curriculum, allowing our children to make important links to develop their historical knowledge. We aim to develop historians who are curious and interested in the world around them. 

Miss Davies is our History lead.
