Young Historian Awards 2022 – take part (Primary prizes)
History competition for primary schools
We want young people to get the bug for writing about history in an interesting and critical way. Each year the Historical Association in collaboration with the Spirit of Normandy Trust offers a series of awards to Primary school children for outstanding history scholarship. Children are asked to investigate, think and write about history. The subject categories cover local history, the ancient world and British involvement in the Second World War. The categories have been created to support learning and writing in the classroom so that all young people can have an opportunity to enter, rather than it being only a homework option.
For the Secondary competition see here
The closing date for entries is 22 July 2022.
Please note: entries supplied by under 16s must be sent by a parent or teacher.
