Teacher video: Legacy

This History scheme of work video supports teachers in delivering a lesson helping pupils evaluate the Roman legacy in Britain and understand the lasting effects of Roman rule.

The video begins with a historical overview, setting the context of the Roman Empire’s decline and the withdrawal of Roman forces from Britain in 410 AD. Pupils learn how the absence of Roman protection left Britain vulnerable to invasions, creating the conditions for significant change. The lesson explores the abstract but vital concept of ‘legacy’, defined as a lasting impact left by people or events from the past and supports pupils in identifying how Roman contributions shaped Britain.
