Our P.R.I.D.E Vision and Values

At Gastrells, we believe in providing an inclusive History curriculum that instils a deep respect, understanding and appreciation of the past. Our intent is to ensure that pupils develop a chronological knowledge of local, British and world history, understand significant historical events and figures, and develop skills in historical enquiry and interpretation.​

​Our curriculum is designed to promote a sense of curiosity and exploration, encouraging pupils to explore the past through exciting opportunities and experiences. In addition to studying a variety of secondary sources, we offer important primary experience to in our locality and on field trips further afield, such as our local canals, London, and the Forest of Dean. We aim to foster positivity and excellence for the subject and develop skills that will enable our pupils to become critical thinkers, empathetic individuals, and active global citizens. This all leads to a flying start to a life of learning.​
