History

History is the study of the past. It helps us learn about people, events, and changes over time, and understand how they shape the world we live in today.

At Ashton Gate, our History curriculum brings the past to life and inspires children to be curious about the people, places, and events that have shaped our world. Through engaging lessons and investigations, pupils explore local history, key periods of British history, and significant events from around the world.

Children learn how the past influences the present and develop important skills in enquiry, analysis, interpretation, and problem-solving. Our approach helps pupils build a strong sense of identity and cultural understanding, while deepening their knowledge of key historical concepts and vocabulary.
