We want to explore the variety of history within our school, local and global communities. This exploration, will allow children to develop a sense of how history effects the present day and they will learn their own value. We want children to have a secure knowledge of and historical skills, asking questions to investigate their topics. ### The Implementation of our History Curriculum At The Cathedral school, we use the national curriculum supported by the use of historical concepts to ensure progression throughout the school. We have also selected other historical topics to help children develop an understanding of our local area. We have 6 substantive concepts that run throughout the school, starting in EYFS. This allows children to build on their prior learning and make links to thinks that have previously been taught. Through the use of artefact sessions, children will ask and answer questions to develop their skills to become curious historians. ### The Impact of our History Curriculum At the Cathedral Catholic Primary School, we want all of our children to transition to high school with a secure knowledge and passion for history. They will have developed the skills to ask questions and think critically about history and have respect for different people, culture and communities. ### History Curriculum [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/P1040048.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/P1040048.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/IMG_3932.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/IMG_3932.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/IMG_3926.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/IMG_3926.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/y69(1).jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/y69(1).jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/Y6.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CURRICULUM-AREAS/History/Y6.jpg) - [![Woodland Trust - Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/woodland_trust_gold.jpg)](https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/get-involved/schools/green-tree-school-award/) - [![Primary Science Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/PSQM_Award_2018.jpg)](http://www.psqm.org.uk/) - [![The Catholic Teaching Alliance](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/CTA.png)](https://www.catholic-teaching-alliance.org/) - [![School Sports Network](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/Lancaster_-_Heysham_SSN_letter_members_logo(1).jpg)](https://www.lhssn.co.uk/) - [![School Games Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/School_Games_badge_(1).png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/) - [![School Virtual Games Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/School_Games_virtual_badge_(1).png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/) - [![Operation Encompass](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/Operation_Encompass.png)](https://www.operationencompass.org/) ##### Location Balmoral Road Lancaster Lancashire LA1 3BT ##### Contact Us 01524 64686 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584762347179) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Cathedral Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
