Why this pack?

Teaching Victorian Britain can easily become a list of dates and queens. Children remember stories – factories, schools, workhouses, inventions, real lives.

This pack gives you engaging, visual and child-friendly resources that:

  • Fit straight into the KS2 history curriculum
  • Work with just one iPad or a whole class set
  • Are ideal for non-specialist teachers who still want rich, accurate content

Use it for a full unit, a short focus week or to freshen up your existing scheme.
