| Mission Sentence | At Brinkworth Earl Danby's School we believe that, "a people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots." (Marcus Garvey). Our curriculum aims to equip pupils with the skills, knowledge and understanding to: ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments and develop perspective and judgement. We intend to develop young historians and ignite children’s curiosity about the past. |
