Vision

Pipworth Community School we want all our pupils to have an understanding of the past and how history will shape their future. We believe that high –quality lessons encourage critical thinking; enhance the ability to weigh evidence and generate arguments: develop chronological understanding and allow pupils to develop their sense of perspective. Over and above all this we want our pupils be passionate about history .Our History is full of topics to be passionate about history. Our History Curriculum is full of topics which foster awe and wonder and actively motivate children to ask ‘why’. The learning objectives of each lesson draw from knowledge and skills included in the National Curriculum 

At Pipworth, our pupils are passionate about history. History is brought to life, enabling children to explore like detectives and work like historians. Children are given the opportunity to study a variety of primary and secondary sources, make predictions, build their historical knowledge and develop key history skills. ‘Big questions’ provide children with an enquiry-led approach to their learning, leading to them developing their own questions to investigate. Pipworth pupils are curious about the past and keen to understand how and why events occurred. This naturally leads them in to investigating why people interpret the past in different ways. As a school, we believe that high-quality history lessons encourage critical thinking, the ability to weigh evidence, the chance to form strong arguments, and allow pupils to develop perspective and judgement. Over their years at Pipworth, pupils experience a rich curriculum, learning about key historical events in Britain’s past and how they shaped our present, as well as learning about historical civilisations and periods across the world.
