Our educational workshops are designed to give your pupils hands-on experiences to bring the past alive, focusing on the requirements of the national curriculum. Each session will last between 1.5-2 hours for up to 30 children, sessions can be combined to create a whole day experience and more than one time period can be covered in a day. To maximise pupil's engagement with the day, teacher lead resources are available. Whole school or large group aspects can be included such as an assembly or storytelling session. Teachers will receive a lesson plan prior to the day. All sessions can be modified to meet specific learning needs.
