Welcome to Wikipedia for Schools! This selection of articles from Wikipedia matches the UK National Curriculum and can be used by school children around the world. 6000 articles, 26 million words and 50,000 images make Wikipedia for Schools bigger than Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia put together!

Wikipedia is great, but it wasn’t designed with the National Curriculum in mind. And because anyone can edit it, articles sometimes get vandalised. That’s why we’ve put together this special collection to make learning as easy and safe as it can be. Here at SOS Children, we’ve checked all the articles, tidied them up a bit, and put them together by school subject.

SOS Children ( www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk) is a charity which works around the world to help children in need. As well as Wikipedia articles, we’ve collected pages from the SOS Children website, so you can learn more about the work we do in 125 countries around the world.

We would like to say thank you to the Wikimedia Foundation, the people who made the Wikipedia site. We would also like to thank the many people who have come together over the years to make Wikipedia what it is today.

You can download Wikipedia for Schools from www.sos-schools.org/wikipedia-for-schools. You can also get a copy on USB memory stick. Wikipedia for Schools is on the internet too, at schools-wikipedia.org.

The legal stuff: content is covered by disclaimers and licences.

How to Navigate

You can find an article by clicking on the school subject on the left of the screen. You can also choose from a list of all articles by clicking on Title Word Index.

Wikipedia for Schools also includes Portal Pages. These pages give a summary of a topic and list important articles inside it, and you can find them by choosing Portals from the menu on the left. You can use the indexes to find your way around but you might like to pick an article and click words in the text to other articles. For example, good starting places are
