Bugle Primary School History and Geography
The aim of History and Geography at Bugle Primary School is to give the children a wider perspective and appreciation of the world and to become global citizens. We will provide high-quality education to inspire pupil's curiosity about Britain's past and how this impacts their lives today.
Children are encouraged to develop transferable skills they can use across the curriculum and in later life, such as perceptive questions, thinking critically and weighing evidence. Also, by stimulating their interest of other times and places children develop an awareness of themselves in relation to their community and the part they can play in it.
