Children are taught History at Papplewick with the intention that they ask not simply 'what do we know?' but 'how do we know?'As such the boys are regarded not simply as people who study the past but as student historians able to employ, in an increasingly sophisticated way, the skills of the historian. Such skills should be applied through a variety of formats: through writing, interactive whiteboard presentations, role-play, oral history, site visits, creative projects and through frequent discussion and debate. Above all, by emphasising the fact that history is about people, and through enthusiastic, well-informed, teaching we hope to bring an appreciation of the past, and of the value of the subject, to the boys at Papplewick.
