History

“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

At Parc Eglos, we aim to help every child develop historical knowledge and build a sense of identity. We recognise children as individuals with unique ideas and seek to challenge stereotypes through discussion and debate. History will be taught through enquiry-based learning, and where possible, use the local environment, highlighting key historical figures and sites of interest in Cornwall.

Our ‘Parc Eglos History Curriculum Map’ features carefully sequenced enquiry-based units that enhance chronological understanding and connections across historical periods. We emphasize five key concepts essential for all children, starting from the EYFS, alongside 6 substantive concepts embedded within the units of work. By structuring our history teaching around these concepts, we aim for our students to leave Parc Eglos as Historians with their own ideas and insights, informed by their understanding of the past and its relevance to the world of today.
