History

At Moss Park Primary School, we celebrate the value of learning about our local, national and worldwide History. As well as teaching History through our sequenced curriculum, we deliver enrichment activities to help secure pupils' understanding and engage their enthusiasm and curiosity. In Key Stage 2 every year group performs a History themed musical assembly for families. You can see Year 5's Anglo Saxons assembly pictured above. History helps us make sense of British Values such as Democracy, Liberty and the Rule of Law. By learning about important civilisations we learn respect for the achievements of people worldwide.
