This article looks at a selection of resources currently available for use in the teaching of astronomy in UK schools. It is by no means an exhaustive list but it highlights a variety of free resources that can be used in the classroom to help engage students of all ages with astronomy and space science. It also lists several facilities with a specific astronomy/space focus that can be visited by schools groups, and briefly describes what is available at each site. (Contains 11 figures.)
