At The Cathedral School of St Peter and St John, our history curriculum inspires curiosity, deep thinking and a lifelong interest in the past, rooted in our mission of “Growing together within God’s loving family, we support, challenge and inspire each other to become the best that we can be.”
From the earliest civilisations to modern world events, our pupils explore a rich and carefully sequenced journey through time, using real historical evidence, questioning sources and developing a strong sense of chronology.
Throughout every unit we embed Catholic Social Teachings, encouraging children to recognise human dignity, seek justice, challenge inequality and understand the impact of actions on communities across history. Our aim is to help pupils not only know more and remember more, but also grow into thoughtful, compassionate citizens who understand their role in the world today.
