HISTORY

History at Dulwich Hamlet Junior School allows children to become critical thinkers by developing a real understanding and appreciation of the pivotal events of Britain’s past and how those events have helped shape life today.

The subject compares both local and national events and key figures through learning about childhood, daily and local life, technology and influential people inspires children to grow in curiosity and to be equipped to interrogate events, sources and evidence. It is key to children’s understanding of how processes of change affect not only their own identities but also other people’s lives, the structure and diversity of structures and communities.
​
We divide history into four areas – childhood, life in Dulwich and the local area, influential figures and technology – and the children learn the subject through those areas
