During key stage 2 pupils should learn about significant people, events and places from both the recent and more distant past. They should learn about change and continuity in their own area, in Britain and in other parts of the world. They need to look at history in a variety of ways. They should use different sources of information to help them investigate the past, using dates and historical vocabulary to describe events, people and developments. They should also learn that the past can be represented and interpreted in different ways.

Shadows of the Past Learning Pathway

In the Hall and grounds are many 'shadows of the past', leaving a faint footprint in time. People have lived and worked there since the 12th century and domestic, local, national and international changes have taken place. The evidence for some survives today. Portraits, furnishings, stairs, walls and windows tell a story of the passing of time.
