History by Rebecca in Print

History by Rebecca in Print was born from a passion to share the love and knowledge of history with as many people as possible.  History as an area of education has become dangerously defunded, deprioritised and devalued in the UK.  Some schools no longer teach the subject at all!  We believe it is every child’s right to learn about the people, country and world they come from — and that includes learning about its history.

History by Rebecca in Print is real, source-based and not sugar coated or washed in any type of agenda.  History is — and should be — raw, controversial and sparking healthy conversations and debates.  We love to sort the fact from the fiction and flex those critical thinking skills!

Most importantly, all of our resources are accessible and FREE.  Download, share and enjoy!  Resources are aimed at LKS2 and onwards but can be adapted to suit other age groups.
