At Green Haworth, our History and Geography curriculums are designed to cultivate enquiring minds and to inspire children who are excited and enthused to learn about the past and the modern world around them. Through carefully planned, knowledge-rich learning, pupils are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, consider evidence, and develop a deeper understanding of how people, places, events, and environments shape our lives.
The History curriculum enables children to explore significant periods, individuals, and events from Britain and the wider world. Pupils learn to think like historians by examining sources, identifying patterns, making comparisons, and considering different perspectives. This approach supports them in developing curiosity, critical thinking, and an appreciation of how the past has influenced the present.
The Geography curriculum similarly broadens children’s horizons by helping them understand the physical and human features of diverse places. Pupils investigate local, national, and global environments, developing their knowledge of climate, settlement, landscapes, and sustainability. They are encouraged to make meaningful connections between their own experiences and the wider world, promoting a sense of responsibility and respect for communities and environments beyond their own.
Our school supports all children to achieve their best in a Church of England school, in a nurturing, supportive and inclusive environment. This ethos is reflected across both curriculums, where every child is valued and enabled to participate fully in learning. High expectations, rich vocabulary, and carefully sequenced opportunities ensure that pupils of all abilities can succeed and flourish.
By combining historical enquiry with geographical understanding, Green Haworth nurtures confident, reflective learners who are prepared to engage thoughtfully with both the heritage of the past and the challenges of the contemporary world.
