Quarry Mount is a multi-cultural school with children and staff who have roots in many countries around the world. This inspires our school to teach a rich historical curriculum with the intention to improve every student’s understanding of culture, individual heritage and equal rights.
At Quarry Mount Primary School, we aim for a high quality history curriculum which sparks in pupils a curiosity and fascination surrounding local history, British history and the history of other civilisations in the wider world.

Our History curriculum has been designed to cover all of the skills, knowledge and understanding as set out in the National Curriculum. We want children to enjoy and love learning about history by not only learning in the classroom, but by also having memorable experiences. These experiences take place both in school, learning from expert visitors, and by going out into the local area on educational visits.
