A Suitcase of History

Simply click on the link below to go straight to the Current Suitcases available section of the page.

The History National Curriculum states "pupils should have opportunities to learn about the past from a range of historical sources including artefacts." Schools can now buy artefacts to support the programmes of study and their pupils understanding. Collections include a wealth of original everyday artefacts used in the past, labelled with information and suggested activities for teachers and children.

Our suitcases and trunks contain over 20 mainly original artefacts.
