School children examine a Roll of HonourThe Royal British Legion School's Pack - 2007 / 2008

This School's Pack is designed to assist teachers to introduce specific themes into the classroom.  Although it primarily covers the History and Citizenship curricula, it can also be used to support literacy and aspects of PSHE and Religious Studies.  The pack should be used as a starting point for certain topics, or to inspire primary and secondary teachers to complementary routes on tackling these themes.

The six topics support the current areas of the National Curriculum for the following units:

  • History - Key Stages 1 and 2, Units 9, 13, 17 and 20.  Key Stage 3, The First and Second World War, Units 18, 19.
  • Citizenship - Key stage 1-4: The identities behind Britain today.  Understanding Human Rights.  Challenging racism and discrimination.  War, conflict and peace.

This year we have produced a main pack and there are also six posters to generate activities about History and Citizenship both inside and outside the classroom.  We also produce a DVD/CD-Rom disk set to provide extra information, and this is released each September.

You can download the Schools Pack here.  A Welsh version is also available.
