History

History is an important part of the curriculum at St Paul's. 

The children at our school have the opportunity to learn about a variety of different historical periods and study world history as well as the fascinating history of our local area. 

Our curriculum allows history to be taught in an exciting and engaging way as history topics are often linked to many different areas of the curriculum, such as the arts. 

The children at St Paul's are also very fortunate to take part in trips to historical sites and have expert workshops in school which help bring history to life!
