Search our vast list of resources and venues by location, topic or curriculum subject.

Lesson plans for KS2 English

Your local environment can help produce great English lessons. Write about a view from your window, research newspaper stories about your area or try creative writing about a night walk. These are just some of the lesson plans available to you.

Scarborough Castle kit

Download this pack with site history, photos, plans, activities and details of how to visit.

Look at things differently

How can pupils learn to see the strangeness in familiar places? Read about the work of the artist Christo and think about the possibilities for teaching activities in maths, history and literacy.

The Brunel Museum

Lessons which explore the museum’s rich time capsule of the Victorian age.

Learn from our houses

Is your house in a street with lots of others – or is it in the countryside? Perhaps it’s 10 floors up? Use our image resource, teacher’s notes and historical information to explore housing styles and building techniques since the Tudor period.

Knightshayes Court

Download this teaching resource about a Victorian walled garden in Devon.
