History at The Rydal Academy provides a fascinating window into the past. Our carefully sequenced lessons enable children to explore different eras and to build a deep knowledge and understanding of civilisations and cultures over time. History gives us identity, a context of where we fit into the world around us and illustrates who we are connected to.
At The Rydal Academy, we ensure that our pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Our history lessons ignite enthusiasm and curiosity and stimulate questions as well as answers.
Our history teaching develops crucial skills, including asking perceptive questions, thinking critically, weighing evidence, sifting arguments, and developing perspective and judgement.
History enables us to learn from the past and be prepared for our future.
