Competitions
If you love history, why not get involved with one of our competitions? We run a number of competitions and awards for children and primary schools, from our Write your own historical fiction awards for pupils aged 9 and above to a number of competitions under the umbrella of the Young Historian Scheme.
We also have our Young Quills Award for historical fiction. Books are shortlisted in this prestigious award for authors by the young people who read and review the books. If you or our school would like to get involved find out more by visiting the Young Quills page. If you are a publisher or author please contact the office.
