The resource contains a wealth of information for all to support homework, projects and independent learning.
Why use it?
· Accurate, trusted and up-to-date curriculum support
The information in Britannica School is aligned to the curriculum and is updated daily with new articles and multimedia elements curated by the world’s leading content and editorial experts.
· Cross-Curricular
Supports curriculum expectations and objectives in all subject areas. Enables pupils to increase their fluency in English language, an essential foundation for their success, while improving ability to collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
· Three reading levels
Three content levels tailored to literacy ability support the least able to most able – pupils can navigate to the level that is suitable for them without changing the age-appropriate visual appearance.
The Intermediate and Advanced levels offer more challenging content and greater discoverability. Browse by subject, look for biographies, explore the World Atlas, compare statistical information between countries and discover interactive resources. All of these functions help pupils improve their research skills.
Articles are illustrated with photos, videos, diagrams and maps to help bring the information to life.
Forget Google and make this your first port of call for homework support!
