Schools information

We can help you bring the excitement to learning!

All of our sessions support your learning objectives. They are for class sizes of up to 35. Our programmes make use of collections, history and local landmarks. We create memorable and hands-on learning experiences.

All sessions are flexible and can be adapted to meet your needs. If you don't find the topic you are looking for, just let us know. We always welcome suggestions for new topics and ways to help you.

Our sessions include a wide range of approaches. These include role-play, enquiry-led learning, multisensory exploration and archaeology. There's no dry history here!
