Time-Traveling Education:

Sit up straight, don't fidget, and stand in that corner! Your students will encounter the strict yet fascinating world of Victorian education firsthand. School Master Watts will guide them through the customs, rules, and quirks of a Victorian School Room, providing a captivating insight into the lives of children from a bygone era.

Comparative Learning:

Bridge the gap between past and present as pupils compare their modern-day school experience with that of Victorian children. Engaging discussions and interactive activities allow them to appreciate the evolution of education and understand the privileges of their contemporary learning environment.

Hands-On Exploration:

Immerse your class in an interactive history lesson as they get hands-on with genuine Victorian artifacts and meticulously crafted replica objects. Touch, feel, and examine the tools of Victorian education, bringing the past to life and creating a tangible connection with history.

Historic Setting:

Set against the backdrop of our Museum and Art Galleries Victorian Courtroom, this workshop creates an authentic atmosphere that transports students straight into the Victorian era. The immersive environment enhances the learning experience, making it both educational and memorable.
