History
Why is History important?
At Wickhambrook Primary Academy, all of our teaching and learning builds on our core values; Achievement, Commitment, Resilience, Respect and Responsibility.
At Wickhambrook, our teaching and learning prepares and primes our children for their future. History forms an integral part of this curriculum; facilitating comprehension, enquiry and analysis. Our aim is to help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of our country and place in the wider community of the world; how we became who we are; the complexity of societies; and the relationships between different groups and identities.
“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
George Satayana
“To understand just one life, you have to swallow the world.”
Salman Rushdie
