The Local History Study at Key Stage 2 provides a variety of opportunities for cross-curricular and enquiry-based learning that can connect students with their local heritage. You can harness these across time periods and across England at English Heritage sites near you. From prehistoric monuments to a Cold War bunker, from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Penzance there’s lots to discover!
In this webinar, we’ll discuss what to expect during an education visit and explore real world links that you can make between key subjects and historic environments. You’ll discover ways to connect with and use your local heritage to enrich your classroom teaching across the curriculum. We’ll also consider how your visit can help support wellbeing through immersive and engaging hands-on learning experiences.
