The importance of history at Eskdale

History at Eskdale helps our students ask and answer questions of the present by engaging with the past.  It fires their curiosity and imagination, moving and inspiring them by the dilemmas, choices and beliefs of people in the past.  It helps them develop their own identity through an understanding of history at personal, local, national and international levels.

Our students find out about the history of Britain, Europe and the world.  They develop a chronological overview that enables them to make connections within and across different periods and societies, investigate Britain’s relationship with the wider world, and relate past events to the present day.

As they develop their understanding of the nature of historical study, our students ask and answer important questions, evaluate evidence, identify and analyse different interpretations of the past, and learn to substantiate any arguments and judgements they make.  They appreciate why they are learning, what they are learning and can debate its significance.

History at Eskdale prepares our students for the future, equipping them with knowledge and skills that are prized in adult life, enhancing employability and developing an ability to take part in a democratic society.  It encourages mutual understanding of the historic origins of our ethnic and cultural diversity, and helps students become confident questioning individuals.
