“I have used history boxes in lots of different schools when teaching history, and I wouldn’t teach it without one now. Picking up and weighing a mail shirt was far more educational than drawing a picture from a book and making up the weight with stones! They boxes give lots of opportunities to develop cross curricular links, and to help history come alive”
Angela Hardman, Supply Teacher, North Yorkshire.

“Without the support, advice and resources provided by History Boxes we would have been unable to create our Centenary WWI learning corridor. The learning corridor has been a monumental success, so much so that other schools are now bringing their classes to experience this new hands-on learning environment. I commend History Boxes for the quality and diversity of the range of resources they bring to the classroom and their professionalism in supporting the learning of pupils at Ganton School.”
