Geography & History

History

At Ankermoor Primary Academy, our pupils are passionate about history. They are curious about the past and keen to understand how and why events occurred; they go on to question why people interpret the past in different ways. As a school, we believe that high-quality history lessons encourage skills of critical thinking, weighing evidence, sifting arguments, and allow pupils to develop perspective and judgement. Throughout their years at Ankermoor, pupils experience a rich and relevant curriculum, not just gaining knowledge of Britain’s past, and our place in the world, but helping them to understand the challenges of our own time…through studying the past, gaining skills for the future.  

Geography

Geography lessons at Ankermoor inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that we hope will remain with each child for the rest of their lives. 

Our pupils learn about diverse places, people, resources and environments, with a deepening understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes and of the formation of landscapes and environments over time.
