October 2026 marks the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. In recognition of this milestone, we have developed new Key Stage 3 lesson plans on Cable Street and the changing face of antisemitism in the UK. The resources, which include Powerpoints and supporting films, are being launched to mark the 90th anniversary in October and have been produced with the support of the Association of Jewish Refugees and other generous donors.
At Learn About Britain we don't shy away from the challenges the UK faces - we confront them. While antisemitism has changed over the last 90 years, it hasn't gone away; nor has the threat of fascism. The lesson plans we have developed look at antisemitism then and now, and, in line with our commitment to turning learning into action, encourage students to reflect on their roles in countering hatred and discrimination in their communities.
The lessons are aimed for KS3 history teachers, bringing a significant moment in British history to life in your classroom. You can read more about the resources below.
