Why book 'Tudors' with Ufton Court for School Trips and Educational Visits?

In our Tudor programme, your children have been sent to Ufton Court by a Justice of the Peace in Berkshire, to investigate the ‘strange goings on’ at the residence of Lord and Lady Francis Perkins. There are rumours of strange goings on and secret Catholic things happening here. As local Petty Constables of the parish of Ufton Nervet, your children’s legal duty is to investigate these claims, find evidence of the claims and consider what might be happening here.

Our Tudor narrative will allow your children to experience life and culture, as it would have been at Ufton Court in the 1500s. Whether it be for three days or one, your children will experience drama and fun in the activities that they do with us, all of which promote historical understanding, teamwork and problem solving.

Objectives:
- To appreciate the effects of religious tensions in Tudor times
- To experience elements of culture and life in the Tudor period
- To ask and respond to questions about contrasts, connections and trends

Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?

Tudors

From the moment you arrive at Ufton you will be immersed in the stories and lives of the children of Greece. We have found that by keeping a story running through your time with us children (and adults) have fun, and remember much more of what they have learnt. We will launch your story with a dramatic proclamation from a scroll, which will give your children a historical name, place them in history and give them a purpose for their visit. From that moment you will investigate the "strange goings on" at Ufton Court. What secrets will the house offer up?

What size groups do you cater for?

20-100

Is there first aid on site?

Yes, all our teachers are first aid qualified. However, all schools are expected to bring a first aid trained member of staff to administer first aid to their pupils.

Do you offer access for visitors with disabilities?

Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

Who are Ufton Court?

Ufton Court provide history and outdoor learning school trips for Schools across the South East.

Based in and around a Grade 1 Elizabethan Manor House, our school trips are set within 16 acres of historical grounds and woodland. The rich environment combined with specialist teachers enable Ufton Court to offer a unique approach to education, teaching children in new and imaginative ways which enrich their learning and their lives. At Ufton Court the emphasis is on hands on, creative and interactive learning.

Our aim is to inspire your class to develop a passion for history and the outdoors. We understand that all schools are different and so our learning style is very flexible and our teachers work hard to provide schools with individual programmes that meet their needs.

Our schools get sole use of their residential sites at night, whether it is our beautiful Manor House or our cosy woodland cabins. We also offer day visits and can run workshops in your school.
