At Pleasant Street Primary School we stimulate children’s interest and understanding about life in the past. We help pupils gain knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. Our children will also learn about the lives and achievements of significant people from the past.

We teach children a sense of chronology, and through this they develop a sense of identity and a cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. They learn to value their own and other people’s cultures in modern multicultural Britain and celebrate their uniqueness as individuals.
