Here at OLOL, we believe that studying History is much more than just learning about the past. It is about helping the children to make sense of the world they live in. What occurred in the past influences all aspects of our lives today. The study of History promotes in our pupils an understanding of the human condition and helps them develop a wider perspective in which to view their own society and their world. As they study the past, our pupils will learn to appreciate the human achievements and aspirations which have shaped the present.
