We have provided tailored, historical themed school days for primary and secondary schools all over East Anglia and beyond that meet the needs of the National Curriculum. We aim to provide inspiring, hands-on historical experiences that create a love of history, build confidence and teamwork and which challenge children to think for themselves.
We promote the same values when undertaking family learning and interpretation work in museums and at events.
