Tudors School Trip

Ufton Court

Reading RG7 4HD

In our Tudor programme, your children have been sent to 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 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

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 we cater for?
