History
Subject Leader Profile
Teacher
Hi! My name is Miss Howells, and I am the history subject leader at Roe Lee. History has always fascinated me, not just as a timeline of dates and events, but as a rich tapestry of human experiences, cultures, and stories that have shaped the world we live in today. My goal is to ignite this same enthusiasm in our students, helping them to appreciate our shared heritage and use it to inform the present and inspire the future.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is helping children develop confidence in questioning, analysing, and evaluating sources of information to deepen their understanding of the past. I am passionate about bringing history to life, creating immersive and engaging opportunities for children to connect with the subject in meaningful ways. There’s nothing quite like seeing young minds light up as they uncover stories from the past, and I am committed to nurturing this curiosity and fostering a lifelong appreciation for history.
History at Roe Lee
Our intention is for children to leave our school with a passion for history. Through our teaching, we aim to help children gain an understanding of our local history, Britain’s history and that of the wider world. From a young age, children will appreciate that learning about the past is important in shaping our future.
In order to achieve this, we need to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for history; by providing an engaging, broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum that inspires children’s curiosity, encourages them to ask critical questions and gives them the confidence to evaluate evidence and sources to form their own opinions.
At Roe Lee, we strive to provide a high quality history curriculum where children have a fascination about the past, a thirst for knowledge and an ambition to be historians!
