Schools
We offer an exciting and flexible curriculum-linked education programme. We support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Maths) subjects as well as History, Geography and English but there are many more curriculum links possible. We can create fun and engaging learning experiences to suit your needs.
Sessions available to schools
We offer both onboard and outreach sessions. You can choose from a range of activities including:
- Rope-making
- Knot-tying
- Archival and artefact based activities
- Timeline
- Ship tour (onboard only)
We can tailor onboard visits to suit your time requirements from 45 minutes to all day.
In addition we loan a STEM/Engineering Box Projects for half a term. This consists of a series of six consecutive lessons, complete with all resources, instructions and lesson plans. It is primarily aimed at Years 5/6 but could easily be adapted.
For all enquiries or to make a booking please contact the Project Manager, Charlotte Squire
