This lesson was especially commissioned by the History Academy to help mark the 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike in 2024. We have worked with former miners from across the country to put together something special. We have also produced a market place activity version of this lesson, which can be downloaded from our TES shop. This lesson provides an overview of how different groups reacted such as the government, striking miners, working miners, the police, the LGBTQ and Britain’s ethnic minorities as well as Women Against Pit Closures. If you are looking for a more detailed look at each of these groups individually, then we will be uploading more resources shortly.

In terms of activities, we have literally thrown in the kitchen sink by including a dazzling array of activities to suit the full range of learners. This lesson is suitable for KS3 and KS4 students.

When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download a 41 slide PowerPoint which has been packed out with a wide range of tasks and activities for you to chose from to suit the full spectrum of learners. It includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, historical sources, video clips, information slides,a knowledge quiz, word searches, a heads and tails activity, a continuum exercise, as well as a creative writing and and presentation task.

The Miners Strike 1984 - 1985

The History Academy has commissioned these resources to help commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Miners' Strike, 1984 - 1985. We asked Roy Huggins who was Head of History at Mexborough School for 27 years to create these resources based upon his first hand experience of working with the Doncaster Oral History Project, former miners and teaching this important turning point in Modern Britain,which has become a 'hidden' or 'forgotten' history due to the uncomfortable issues that it raises about policing and civil rights. In this bundle we have have added all our resources on this topic and will continue to add to it over time, so if you buy today you'll get the updates and new resources for free. For more information, please see the sample preview for each lesson. A big thank you to : Martin Shakeshaft - who has allowed us to use several of his photos for free to help promote the teaching of the Miners' Strike in schools.
