Over the years, I know we are now, without doubt, the only company in the UK offering such a huge & diverse range of history, religious and art-based artefacts specifically for use in the classroom. We are particularly excited about our range of history artefacts which we are adding to week by week. We can provide you with genuine affordable artefacts which are often special, sometimes amazing, sometimes unique, but most importantly will stimulate your students & impact your classroom. So far, over 8,000 schools have used our service, so hopefully, we're doing something right! Welcome to Starbeck Educational Resources. Have fun!" Peter Wallin   MD
