Free copies of the Magna Carta for primary schools!

Exciting news!

We know it’s Friday afternoon, we know it’s (sort of) sunny and we know that ice cream exists, so we promise to keep this short.

We just wanted to do our bit though to let you know that the lovely folk at the Magna Carta Trust are about to send a copy of the Magna Carta to every primary school in the UK. So, if you’re at primary school make sure you watch out for this and ask your teachers if you can see it when it arrives!

(If you’re at secondary school or college then try not to feel too jealous, at least you get to go to bed later and you might even be able to grow a beard by now - if you’re a guy).

If you’d like to find out a bit more about this initiative then check out the following BBC article: www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-32393896

It also includes some really interesting points about the Magna Carta and links to other websites and resources, so it’s well worth a read.

Have a great weekend!
