Miss Heather Allister – History Subject Lead
Hello and welcome to History at Eastburn Primary School!
My name is Heather Allister, and my love of history began when I was in primary school. This passion led me to study history and the history of art at university, and I am now thrilled to lead the history curriculum at Eastburn. I hope to ignite the same curiosity and enthusiasm for history in our pupils that I felt all those years ago.
At Eastburn Primary School, we are committed to delivering a high-quality history curriculum that helps pupils gain a clear and cohesive understanding of Britain’s past and the history of the wider world. Our goal is to inspire curiosity about the past and help pupils appreciate the complexities of people’s lives, the process of change, and the diversity of societies. We also encourage pupils to reflect on their own identity and understand the relationships between different groups and the challenges of the times.
By studying history, we hope our pupils will not only gain knowledge but also develop a deeper understanding of the world and their place within it.
