Cross curricular
Britannica School supports the UK national curriculum expectations and aims in all subject areas. Enabling students to improve their ability to collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
Supporting teachers
Britannica Spotlights, part of Britannica School, is a series of mini websites that focus on key dates or curriculum-specific topics. The websites bundle together relevant articles, learning resources and lesson plans to help teachers deliver effective and engaging lessons, with the flexibility to use the resources online or offline.
Home learning
Access anytime, anywhere; students are able to access safe online resources to complete homework and develop their research skills using trustworthy, citable information. Britannica School also has tools that enable parents to support their child’s learning, so teachers, parents and children can all work in partnership using the same resources.
We use it to spark questions and students can take ownership of their work. The layout is so friendly; the students like it more than traditional search engines. They like that they have safe information that is useful.
