Having observed over 2,000 history lessons, I can honestly say History Bombs is one of the best resources for history teachers who want to pursue an enquiry-based approach.
Neil Thompson Former Ofsted History Inspector
We absolutely love History Bombs. It’s great fun and teaches us so much. My three children ages 14, 12 and 10 can all do it together which we love being able to do - to learn together as a family is so special. But also we can take the opportunity to learn with friends as a group.
Whittaker Family Homeschooler
History Bombs videos are amusing and informative and they're really great for starting discussions, leading to fantastic learning.
Joshua St Mary Magdalene's Academy, London
History Bombs tackles potentially really dry topics with humour and a light touch. The resources build knowledge cumulatively and systematically and leave the kids feeling knowledgeable without being overwhelmed. It feels effortless.
Jepson Family Homeschooler
I am amazed by how your videos help my students see history as a connected chain of events. Just fantastic!
