History

At New Cangle  we support all pupils to become historians by developing skills, knowledge, curiosity and a depth of understanding in history.

We provide a history curriculum based around the Cornerstones Curriculum, For more details about the Cornerstones Curriculum, please see Curriculum

In school, we have a range of resources to support teaching and learning of history including: replica artefacts and books. 

To link historical events with real-life experiences, pupils visit local and national historical places of interest. Other ‘memorable experiences’ include school-based, hands-on educational workshops and re-enactments.  

Further details of our history curriculum can be found in the document: History Curriculum Map 2020-2021

History is led by Miss East who studied history at degree level. She is fascinated by cultural, political and social events of importance and interest, in history and at the present time.  

Miss East is keen to support children with developing a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history, especially the changes brought about by significant events and the contributions of significant individuals.
