This engaging 7-lesson pack, complete with a 30-page student booklet, explores the complex and often turbulent religious transformations that shaped England under the Tudor monarchs. Designed to meet A Level History specifications, this resource examines the key events, motivations, and consequences of religious change from the reign of Henry VIII through to Elizabeth I.

Students will investigate the driving forces behind reform and resistance, the role of individual monarchs and ministers, and the broader impact on English society and culture. A particular highlight of this pack is an immersive lesson on the Dissolution of the Monasteries, where students take on the role of Cromwell’s agents, “visiting” different monasteries to assess their value and loyalty—bringing historical enquiry to life.

Key Questions Explored:

How and why did religious change happen between 1527 and 1563?

To what extent did Catholicism survive in England during the Reformation and beyond?

How and why did Protestantism grow in England from 1509 to 1588?

What’s Included:

A 30-page student booklet filled with information, source material, structured tasks, and exam-style questions.

7 fully planned lessons with clear learning outcomes, active learning strategies, and opportunities for discussion and analysis.

A blend of narrative, thematic, and enquiry-based approaches to develop depth of understanding and historical thinking skills.

This pack is ideal for both classroom teaching and independent study, supporting students in developing a nuanced understanding of the causes, nature, and impact of religious change in Tudor England—essential for success in both source and essay-based exam components.
