History also shows us how our world has changed over time. Pupils learn about important events and people who shaped our society, like the significance of the Magna Carta or who fought for civil rights. This helps them appreciate what we have today and understand why things are the way they are.

History teaches pupils to think critically. They learn to ask questions like, “Why did this happen?” and “What can we learn from this?” This helps them become better problem-solvers and make smarter decisions. Knowing history also helps pupils to understand their own family stories and where they come from. It connects them to their roots and gives them a sense of belonging.

History is full of exciting stories of adventure, bravery, and discovery. Learning about these stories can be really fun and inspire pupils to be curious and imaginative. So, studying history helps pupils grow into knowledgeable, thoughtful, and curious individuals.
