History

Our Vision for PE at Etwall Primary School

Our vision for History at Etwall Primary School is to inspire every child to develop a curiosity about the past and an understanding of how it has shaped the world we live in today. We strive to equip children with the knowledge, skills and confidence to think critically, ask questions and learn from the experiences of people throughout history. We support our children through our core values of Curious, Ambitious and Caring.
