The annual Welsh Heritage Schools Initiative competition has been running for over 30 years and specifically celebrates the heritage of Wales, handed down from the past. There is an expectation, therefore, that projects will engage and make links with the past even where the starting point for the project is a contemporary issue, enquiry or theme. 

The judges will specifically look for the following in the project submitted by each school:

•  The heritage focus of the project and the knowledge and understanding gained by learners;

• The development of learners’ enquiry skills, thinking skills and wider skills;

• The impact of the project on learners and the wider community

Schools are invited to submit ONE ENTRY PER SCHOOL*. This may be a project completed by just a small group of pupils such as a club or one class. Alternatively, it may be a project that includes the work of several classes or the whole school, but in this case there needs to be a common thread that connects the project together and provides its title, such as a common theme or a common enquiry question.

​

*Schools may submit multiple EUSTORY entries from their year 12 and 13 students as well as the school’s own project.
