At Moorthorpe, History will help us to unlock the past!
Our History curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Learn about a wide range of historical events; locally, nationally an internationally.
- Develop inquisitive minds with regards to what has gone before
- Appreciate and respect previous generations
- Are skilled historians, able to learn about key periods from the past using source material to determine how and why events took place
- Visit local sites of historical importance such as Pontefract Castle
- Understand the importance of museums as curators of knowledge and artefacts
- Experience history brought alive within the school through specially organised visitors and themed events
