History Whole School Map

Interwoven into our History Curriculum, is finding out about significant people and events from a wide range of cultures which reflect the diversity of our school.

Black History Timeline

History learning begins in EYFS where children consider significant events in their own lives such as birthdays or the arrival of a new sibling. Children in EYFS also observe changes over time such as the change in seasons or watching ice melt. Through studying books such as The Tiger Who Came to Tea, children discuss how life seemed different in the past.

Reclaiming Narratives

At St Paul’s we believe that we have a responsibility to ensure that our diverse community is represented throughout the curriculum and throughout the whole year.
We have launced our Black History learning for the year using the theme -Reclaiming Narratives from Black History month, 2024
From the start of a pupil’s learning journey in EYFS we encourage all of our pupils to celebrate their ethnicity and rich cultural experiences.
