History
We want all of our children to LIVE - life in all its fullness (John 10:10)
As a Church School, we approach all that we do through our Christian Values which are embedded throughout our curriculum. They are… Love & Kindness, Friendship, Respect, Justice, Freedom & Responsibility, and Equality.
Our Christian Values are integral to all that we do and form the bedrock of our attitudes and approach.

Enquiring Minds
At Bickerton Holy Trinity CE Primary School, our History Curriculum offers a comprehensively planned sequence of high-quality lessons to help teachers ensure children become lifelong learners. They progressively gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world whilst simultaneously developing their substantive and disciplinary knowledge required through the National Curriculum.
The 3-year rolling programme in EYFS and KS1 enables children to gain an awareness of the past and an understanding of time and past events in, and beyond, living memory. They also learn about significant people who have contributed to local, national and global developments to encourage the children to recognise and value diversity. We have created a bespoke 3-year rolling curriculum in EYFS, KS1 and Years 3, 4 and 5 to meet the needs of our mixed-age classes. This enables children to access an immersive and chronological approach each year with a different focus on specific
substantive concepts (“golden threads”). Year 6 is taught as a stand-alone, single age year group. This allows the children to draw on their prior learning to describe connections, contrasts and trends, locally, nationally and globally, enhancing the children’s knowledge and appreciation of the value of diversity.
Our curriculum planning ensures that by the end of KS2, all children will have met the expectations of the History National Curriculum; developed enquiring minds and have secure knowledge, skills and understanding ready for transition into KS3.
