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!
In this webinar, delivered by Hannah Keddie from English Heritage, you’ll discover ways to connect with and use your local heritage to enrich your classroom teaching across the curriculum.
English Heritage is the charity that cares for the over 400 sites and over 1 million objects in the National Heritage Collection.

Through our learning programmes, we engage over 300,000 school-aged children every year. English Heritage supports local learning across England through Free Education Visit resources online and onsite as well as facilitated Discovery Visit workshops at key sites.
