Our intent is that our teaching of History will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain and of the wider world. Using stories in History sessions can convey the culture, history, and values that unite people. They build familiarity and allow the listener to enter that period of time, making them more open to learning.
Good stories can convey tricky ideas in graspable ways for young children. Also, stories are far more engaging than a list of facts or a discussion of themes that can be too abstract for young children. Stories also help with learning because they're easy to remember! Besides the role that stories play in learning about history, they also inspire a love of reading by opening the children up to a whole new world.

We foster the qualities of truth, tolerance, freedom and peace and encourage sound relationships founded on respect and courtesy for one another.
Our School Values
Report
Each half term we focus on a particular 'School Value'. Each time an adult sees a child keeping the School Value the child is allowed to put a special jewel in the jar. Our school values link with the British Values, which the children learn about regularly in assemblies and in the classroom, as well as the ethos of the school.
Our Childhood Pledge
Report
It is with great excitement that we would like to introduce our IFtL 'Childhood Pledge'. We pledge to all our children that we will provide specific memorable experiences and opportunities throughout their time at school that allows them to grow into well rounded citizens who can succeed as individuals and contribute to their society.
