National History Challenge (Years 7-9)

We are challenging students to take part in a competition being run by the Historical Association. You can choose from a range of challenges and there are prizes and awards to be won. Details on each of the challenges are below.

The Young Historians Award encourages you to research a period in history that interests you. It can be something you are already studying at school but maybe want to develop further, or it can be something entirely new, it's up to you. You must research and produce a project that meets one of the themes below.

Year 7,8 and 9 categories for 2021 are as follows:

  • The Spirit of Normandy Trust Prize: for individual work on any aspect of British involvement in the Second World War

  • The World War 1 Prize: for any individual work on the First World War

  • The Local History Prize: for any individual work on a Local History theme

  • The Mid-Trent Historical Association Prize: for the Best Secondary School History Magazine
