Schools Resources

We want every child to be inspired by their local heritage and every teacher to have brilliant resources to use inside and outside the classroom.

We offer a wide range of ready-made free online learning resources for teachers. We can also create bespoke Archive Resource Packs for your school. Here, you can find out more about the resources we have to offer and watch our video about the work of Historic England.
