For Schools: Victorian News

This section provides a Victorian Newspaper simulation which will promote real engagement with authentic Victorian texts and the contemporary and Victorian media.

It is an excellent opportunity to develop and practise ICT and Literacy skills, and explore the themes of social reform, transport, public health, housing, factory working life and agricultural life through original Victorian news clippings.

Focus on: KS2/3 History Curriculum.

This resource is now available by special arrangement only and at a small charge to cover costs..
