Outreach Programmes
Our school outreach programmes are designed to bring history to life into the classroom. Our topics cover the story of Titanic, her sister ships and the White Star Line, to World War One, World War Two and the Vikings. Each outreach programme provides an active fun filled learning experience into the classroom for children of all age groups. The outreach programmes provide schools with a high standard of resources and material which gives greater knowledge on the history of each of our topics.
Supporting the national curriculum and geared for the curriculum of excellence, each of the outreach programmes stimulates thinking and employs innovative communication techniques by combining presentation with quizzes, games and hands on experience. The programmes are proving very successful and receiving excellent feedback from schools in the way in which the pupils are absorbing the information and the knowledge they are developing through each of the programmes.
Our outreach programmes are available to all schools across the country, for further details and information please contact us where we will be more than happy to help.
