Roman Britain

If your pupils are studying the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain and/or Local History, our Roman Britain resources are the perfect support to your lesson planning.

Our resources are designed to help your pupils learn, whether they are in the classroom or at home.

Some resources were created during lockdown and are specifically designed for those pupils learning at home. They will also support and complement a visit.

If you are planning to visit the Royal Armouries in Leeds check out our Roman Rule: Boudicca’s Revolt Workshop or if you plan to visit Fort Nelson near Portsmouth check out our The Romans are coming! Workshop.
