In Year 4 history, we explore key periods that shaped Britain’s past. We learn about the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain, the arrival and settlement of the Anglo‑Saxons, and the Industrial Revolution as a major turning point in British history. These topics help pupils extend their chronological understanding and recognise how different eras connect, contrast, and influence life today. Throughout the year, pupils study themes and events that deepen their understanding of long‑term historical change.
