Following a number of exciting local history projects in schools across England, educational material for this website has been developed with teachers, pupils, historians and education specialists. The themes, activities, timelines and cross-curricular nature of the material provide widely applicable models, which can be adapted to your local area.
England’s Past for Everyone (EPE) produced engaging local history activities for life-long learners, volunteers, school children and young people.
The EPE project involved:
EPE delivered 13 school projects across 10 counties to show how local history can support work across the curriculum, in both a primary and secondary setting. These projects involved over 700 children in historical activity across England.
