Why did Queen Boudica's Rebellion fail?

This fun and interactive lesson looks at why Queen Boudica’s Rebellion failed in AD 61. It is aimed at KS3 students, but includes differentiated tasks which could also be used with Year 6 at KS2. Ideally, students will have studied the Roman Army and invasion of Britain before tackling this topic, although it will also work as a stand alone lesson.
