Moira Primary School

at the heart of the National Forest

Children are encouraged to bring in their own bottle of water to access throughout the day. Water is also available in each classroom.
A mastery approach is currently being developed in maths and reading.
If you need to speak to your child’s teacher, the best time to do this is at the end of the day when the children come out of school. Any messages in the morning can be passed onto the member of staff at the gate or via the office. Teachers will respond to Dojo messages during the school day. We ensure that we always respond to any queries within 24 hours.
Prospective parents and their children are assured of a warm welcome whenever they visit Moira Primary School.
Parents are regularly invited into school to participate in an activity with their child.

History

Intent

We have designed our History curriculum so that our learners:

Foster an enthusiasm and curiosity about history and learning about the past through an engaging and varied curriculum; developing knowledge, skills and understanding which can be applied to any area of history
Are taught skills and concepts progressively across the school in line with the National Curriculum
Develop a secure sense of chronology; acquiring an understanding of time, events and people through the passing of time
Use research skills to pose questions and investigate the past by making inferences and drawing conclusions.
Understand how events have occurred concurrently in different locations worldwide in order to compare and contrast
Study a variety of significant historical figures and events that underpin the diversity of Britain and the wider world.
