October 2026 will mark the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. In recognition of this milestone, we are developing new Key Stage 3 lesson plans on Cable Street and the changing face of antisemitism in the UK. The resources, which will include Powerpoints and supporting films, will be launched ahead of the new school term.
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. The lesson plans we are developing will 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 it.
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 and register your interest to be the first to receive them.
