Teacher Bulletin
The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and The Queen Consort is just a few days away and this Teacher Bulletin pulls together a range of opportunities for schools and pupils to get involved and celebrate this historic moment.

Coronation learning materials
We asked sector experts to produce a series of Coronation learning materials, designed to help pupils gain a deeper understanding of this significant historical event. Through the resources, you will be able to engage children in the background and context of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort’s Coronation and teach them about the key figures and items that play a crucial part in the ceremony.
The primary school resources include a PowerPoint lesson plan, detailed notes for teachers and adaptable activities for different year groups.
The pack of secondary school resources, developed by Robert Peel, includes a starter quiz, fact sheet and worksheets.

Coronation film for primary schools
The Department for Culture Media and Sport has commissioned a short film (approx. 10 minutes) for primary school-aged children explaining the history and significance of the Coronation.
Freely available to all schools in the UK for use in lessons, assemblies and school events, the film ‘Inside the Coronation’ is available to download from the Coronation website.

Wildflower seeds for primary schools
We’ve joined forces with the Eden Project to offer all state funded primary schools packets of wildflower seeds to celebrate His Majesty The King’s commitment to fighting climate change.

Volunteering opportunities with the Big Help Out
The Big Help Out is a national day of volunteering to mark the Coronation coordinated by the Together Coalition on Bank Holiday Monday 8th May. It will give everyone the chance to take part in a huge range of volunteering activities organised by well-known voluntary organisations in their communities, including the Scouts, National Trust and Guide Dogs.
Schools can get involved by promoting volunteer opportunities, encouraging pupils to take part in volunteering activities and talking to pupils about the importance of volunteering and why it matters.
