The American Library Association produces an annual list of 25 noteworthy and open access sources of information (obviously with an American-centric bias).  These four sites stood out as being particularly useful to schools:

1.  Worldometers for statistics, geography, citizenship, sociology, general studies, PSHE and economics.


2.  Photography in 10 lessons  for 16+ photography

3.  Current value of old money  especially
Cost of living during WWII  for history and english
Cost of living in Jane Austen's England for history and english

4.  Pros and cons of controversial issues (currently 42 issues covered) for critical thinking, citizenship, PSHE
