Virtual Reality Day Workshop
PrimeVR
Our virtual reality workshops are a fantastic way of bringing the curriculum to life! We can deliver an exciting, relevant and unforgettable workshop for every KS2 class. Each year group can choose a workshop relevant to their current topic and teachers can use the experience to inspire their class to produce some amazing creative writing.
All of our workshops are delivered by qualified teachers or passionate educators who bring all of the equipment necessary and we only need a spare classroom or small space with access to tables and chairs to inspire KS2.
We have been rated 5* by schools and teachers on Google, Trustpilot and Facebook. Take a look and see what they thought!

Please get in touch if you have any specific questions regarding accessing our VR headsets.
Visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
We have extensive experience delivering workshops in a wide range of SEN settings, working with students from KS2 through to KS4. The feedback we have received from schools about our VR workshops has been overwhelmingly positive. We offer a range of workshops that can be adapted to suit the individual needs of your students.
Before confirming a booking, we arrange a call with the school to discuss your students' needs in detail. This allows us to explain how the day will run, what you can expect from the sessions, and to agree on any additional measures or adjustments that may be needed to ensure all students feel comfortable and supported.
To make our visits viable, we encourage whole-school participation (KS2 and above). Our workshops are highly engaging and immersive, so we recommend a maximum session length of 30 minutes per class to help prevent fatigue or sensory overload.
Our VR headsets are accessible for students who use wheelchairs. Depending on individual preference, the headset strap can be worn over the head or the device can simply be held up to the eyes like a pair of binoculars. If any students find the headset overwhelming, we also provide tablets as an alternative (usually up to four per visit). This ensures that all students can still take part and engage with the content in a way that feels comfortable for them.
As our workshops are predominantly visual, students with hearing impairments are still able to benefit from the experience.
For safety reasons, we recommend that students who are prone to seizures or who have epilepsy consult with a medical professional before using a VR headset. We also require parental or guardian consent for all students who will be using our VR equipment.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how we can support your school or if you have any questions about our SEN-friendly approach.
