History

"If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday." Pearl Buck

At Potters Gate and St Andrew's, we are historical investigators who are curious to discover the past in Britain and the Wider World. We are able to:-

explore - examine - enquire - interpret 

 We want to promote curiosity and fascination, so children can be passionate to dive into past events.

  • We aim to equip children with the tools to ask questions about Historical events and use their previous learning to try to answer them.
  • We want all children to have a wealth of knowledge of events that have happened in the past and think about where they could come on a timeline.
  • We will develop in children a sense of who they are and celebrate different culture and diversity through different aspects such as Black History Month.
  • Utilising the Farnham Museum allows our children to have first hand experience of our local History.
