Curriculum-Focused Learning
Our First World War visits support Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 history programmes, helping students to:

All of our workshops can be adapted to suit other Key Stages, home learners and groups with additional learning needs.
An Engaging Educational Experience
Through interactive displays and authentic historical objects, students can uncover the often-overlooked story of the Corps that kept Britain’s armies supplied throughout the conflict.
