History
All Prince Avenue children are given the opportunity to explore the past at a local, national and international level. Children will be taught skills of historical enquiry throughout their time in the school which will be built upon year on year. They will benefit from a broad curriculum that enables them to ask questions and discover knowledge that is relevant and interesting to themselves.
We aim to provide the children with a curriculum tailored to their individual needs and ensure that every child is able to engage with and enjoy learning about the history of their local environment and the wider world. Children will gain a deeper insight into how the world was shaped into what they see today and how their own lives have been impacted by changes throughout history.

-
Encouraging children to ask questions about the past and a desire to find answers.
-
Passionately teaching a wide range of topics from the past.
