Trefonen Historians: Let our Trefonen Historians shine

Children are encouraged to engage with the History curriculum through a chronological approach beginning in Early Years and ending in Year 6.

Our history curriculum is supported through the National Oak Academy, BBC Bitesize and specific school-based workshop visitors and visits Children visit museums and important historical places, they experience school based history workshops and they take part in activities to learn about and celebrate their local heritage. This helps children to see first-hand the impact different civilizations have had on their immediate surroundings and their wider world

Through our History curriculum, we aim to enable the children to become:

• Enthusiastic, curious and independent thinkers through developing their curiosity about different civilizations and wonders while allowing them to develop their understanding of history based on what they have learned in previous years.
• Motivated, reflective and resilient learners through developing their ability to read and interpret different primary and secondary resources which can lead to different debates about the attitudes of people and cultures through history.
• Tolerant and responsible citizens through developing their understanding of the contribution that different civilizations played, not just in the UK, but across the world.
• Children also have the opportunity to visit many different historical places within our local and wider area and represent Trefonen School with a respectful attitude and eagerness to learn.
• Respectful compassionate and kind friends through understanding human achievements and experiences throughout the world and understanding the contribution of many different faith groups throughout history.
• Confident, thankful individuals through allowing them to broaden their real life experiences both inside and outside of school. This will be done through a variety of different measures which include; educational visits, visitors, experimentation, exploration and discovery.
