The Young Historian Project has been celebrating the achievements of young historians in primary schools for over 25 years. It is largely funded by the Historical Association and the Spirit of Normandy Trust. The annual Young Historian Awards scheme is the centrepiece of its activity. The Young Historian Project seeks to encourage young people to be active historians and to encourage their teachers in this great endeavour.

"Thank you for the opportunity your prizes offer for our young historians to get researching. It is proving a superb way for them to build up their historical interests as they work towards the Sixth Form, their university applications and far beyond." Dr Damian Kerney (Head of History – Lancing College)
