Out of the Archive: A Creative Journey through the Heritage of Wandsworth

Explore Wandsworth's heritage through curriculum-enhancing resources for primary schools!

Resources for KS1 and KS2 were commissioned as part of London Borough of Culture 2025 and Wandsworth Heritage Festival. Created by illustrator Grace Holliday, a Royal College of Art (RCA) graduate, these resources introduce special items from the Wandsworth collection that connect with curriculum topics:

  • KS1 – Mid Century Design, Sports & Leisure, Play
  • KS2 – Victorian Design, Fashion, Domestic Life

The aim of these resources is to bring to life items from the collection and connect young people with the history of their borough. The resources will encourage pupils to explore local history and compare the past with the present through fun, creative activities.

The resources are freely accessible to all primary schools, including SEND and PRU settings, thanks to London Borough of Culture and National Lottery Heritage funding.
