History & Geography

At Crick Primary School, history teaching develops a curiosity for history and an enthusiastic engagement in learning across the year groups. Our pupils will explore the past, developing their own historical curiosity and understanding of why the past can be interpreted in different ways. They will enjoy learning about a range of periods through time, gaining an understanding of a variety of historical concepts and processes. They will learn to be resilient by challenging their own and other’s views and preconceptions through appropriate and accurate historical enquiry. Our pupils will learn the skills to understand the complexity of people’s lives and identify themes and patterns through history as well as linking these to the challenges of their time.

In geography, provision is designed to develop a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will stay with them long beyond their time at primary school. Through a broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum, we will ensure the progressive development of geographical concepts, knowledge and skills; thus enabling the pupils to be ambitious and develop a love for geography. Geography teaching at our school will develop the pupils’ knowledge of their local communities and what makes them unique and special. In addition, pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of the wider world to have a better understanding of how people live in different locations.
