Free Remembrance Day resources for primary schools

Remembrance Day offers a valuable opportunity for pupils to pause, reflect and learn about the people, stories and sacrifices behind the poppies they see each November. Our free Remembrance Day materials give your whole school a thoughtful, age-appropriate way to explore the meaning of remembrance together.

Created for Reception, Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2, the themes include ready-to-teach lessons, classroom resources, key vocabulary, knowledge organisers, quizzes and practical activities. There are also whole-school resources, including a bespoke song inspired by the Christmas truce of 1914 and an outdoor learning activity.

Simply complete the form to receive free access to Dimensions Connect, our online learning platform. You will be able to explore and teach the full Remembrance Day materials directly from the platform, with everything you need in one place.

Free until 30 November. Sign up with your school email address.

Four lessons, from Reception to Year 6.

The materials are designed to make a sensitive subject accessible, meaningful and manageable for busy teachers. Pupils can investigate real stories and historical sources, share their thoughts, and consider themes of service, peace, courage and hope.

What schools say about Dimensions.

“As a primary pupil referral unit, creating genuine engagement is essential for our learners. We were looking for a curriculum that places children at the heart of everything and encourages them to immerse themselves in purposeful, meaningful activities. Dimensions has proved to be a strong fit because it enables our pupils to be active, curious learners rather than passive recipients of information. It brings learning to life in a way that motivates them and supports high-quality learning throughout. Plus, the children just love the curriculum!”

BThe Beacon Referral Unit

“Our school fully embraced the Dimensions curriculum and it has brought the world to our classrooms!”

AAlison Steen

“As a school we are really pleased with our decision to go with Dimensions. It has changed the way we teach our topic lessons as a school and has elevated the quality and diversity of the topics taught throughout KS1 and KS2. It is wonderful how the same theme can be so diverse across all age ranges and it has given teachers the confidence to explore themes they may not have taught previously.”

Scoill Phurt Le Moirrey

“Dimensions Curriculum is amazing! We’ve used it for a few years now and the children absolutely love the different topics and are really engaged by the modern and relevant aspect of these. … Added to this is the amazing support that you get from the Dimensions team and nothing is ever too much trouble.”

SSophie Orton

“Introducing the curriculum has been a real game-changer for our team. It’s clear, well-structured, and genuinely supportive of high-quality teaching. Planning is now more streamlined and consistent, while still allowing flexibility for individual classes and teaching styles. The progression is easy to follow, expectations are clear, and it’s saved us valuable time without compromising creativity or impact. A thoughtfully designed resource that’s already making a positive difference in our classrooms.”

Woodford Halse School

“As a class teacher I have really enjoyed using both the Dimensions Curriculum and 3D PSHE. Both products have been very well designed with clear, progressive and sequential plans, incorporating creative, engaging ideas and have given me the peace of mind to know I am teaching the children a quality curriculum. Wouldn’t expect anything less from a product designed by teachers, for teachers. Thank you Dimensions team!”

AAnn Webster

“The Dimensions 3D PSHE curriculum map, programs of study and enrichment unit are so well organised! I am very excited to use it all!”

LLubavitch Primary School

It is excellent value for money.”

LLouise

“Introducing the curriculum has taken the weight off leaders knowing that everything is covered with clear progression documents. Children are getting the breadth and depth of coverage required. It has made a really positive impact especially when planning for mixed age classes. It is great to have the support available for ever changing class structures.”

Warton St. Paul’s CE School

“It allows teachers to do what they do best, create engaging schemes of work and lessons and then teach accordingly, safe in the knowledge that statutory demands are covered and progression ensured … Our successful inspection outcomes are testament to the confidence we have in Dimensions. I could not ask for more from Dimensions.”

HHelen Ruberto

“We contacted the Customer support team and requested a new document that had the lesson codes and learning objectives for each year group, for each term. They were more than happy to help and emailed the documents to us the same day which was very helpful and exactly what we needed.”
