What Our Visitors Say

The children really enjoyed their visit, it added immensely to their topic about the Tudors. The workshops were excellent.

The trip made our Anglo Saxon topic come to life.

Teacher

The workshops were some of the best examples of outside of the classroom learning I've seen.

Teacher

The Victorian cooking was delicious. We would love to have the recipe so that the children can make them at home.

Teacher

The children have left with lasting memories and a deeper understanding of the topic.

Teacher

Staff and students alike thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and short talks from the volunteers in the houses. Your planning and communication beforehand were excellent and ensured today went smoothly. A day for the Year 7s to remember for a long time to come!
