• Gender & sexuality (Molly Navey, Priory School, Lewes)

• Everyday school life (Jonny Sellin, Bottisham Village College)

Each pack contains material for a historical enquiry seven lessons in length, and includes primary source material, focused activities, and historiographical debates. The SESC school resource packs aim to:

• Introduce rigorous historical enquiries about secondary education and social change, relating to one of the four topics
• Develop pupils’ core subject skills
• Offer teachers access to a variety of primary sources, planning support, & resources
• Challenge insular understandings of post-1945 British history through the inclusion of more diverse perspectives
• Bring university scholars into the classroom through videos of historians conducting source analyses

While aimed to fit within the Key Stage 3 curriculum where there is a focus on core themes of post-war British history, we also encourage teachers to use and adapt these resource packs for pupils in different year groups. We hope that you enjoy using them with your pupils. 

If you use these resources, and would like more projects like this to happen in the future, we would be grateful if you could provide us with feedback so that we may demonstrate the value and impact of this type of collaboration between university and school-based historians. We welcome teachers to share their experiences using SESC’s school resources filling out a feedback form, available here.
