Producer Comment

Edwina Baden-Powell, Director of Productions

Contesting History challenges students to critically evaluate both existing and new historical sources. It addresses cancel culture and the rise of AI, and stresses the importance of research skills and critical thinking to avoid biased perspectives.

New and Featured Content Partners

From timeless philosophy to immersive storybook readings, these partners offer rich, curriculum‑ready content for students across the UK.

The Reading Corner (New Content Partner)
We’re excited to bring schools access to a new collection of videos from The Reading Corner. Their stories are read-aloud videos of children’s books for primary school-aged children, each brought to life with beautiful illustrations and music to engage young listeners. These stories help build vocabulary and foster a love of reading by making books appealing and accessible to students. Take a look at a couple of their series – Mars Bound (England) (Scotland) and Peter Pan (England) (Scotland).

The School of Life
The School of Life blends ideas from psychology, philosophy, art, culture, and psychotherapy to offer a unique approach to education, blending relatable life topics with academic knowledge. Some of their films on classical philosophy are particularly useful for schools, including Plato (England) (Scotland), Immanuel Kant (England) (Scotland), and Confucius (England) (Scotland).
