Our workshops are a great way of bringing the curriculum to life without the hassle of organising a school trip! During our Around the World VR workshop, your class will use VR headsets to compete by identifying the following:
- Country
- Continent
- City
- Landmark
- Bonus Question
Each team will be provided with an A1 map which they can use to help them identify countries and landmarks.
Following on from this workshop, your pupils can produce a piece of amazing creative writing based on their favourite location.

Physical Geography
Map and atlas Continents Wonders of the World
PrimeVR can bring your geography/maps topic to life by flying your class around the world. Using virtual reality headsets and working in teams, they'll be required to work out where they have been transported to. They'll gain points for naming the continent, country, city and landmarks as well as bonus points for general knowledge of each location.

Creative writing
At PrimeVR, we understand how difficult it can be to inspire children with their writing. We aim to create excitement by virtually transporting your class around the world (in a quiz style format). Give VR a go and see how it helps with creative writing!
Use our Around the World quiz as a way to inspire persuasive writing, diary entries, storytelling and more!

We can deliver up to six workshops throughout the school day with a maximum of 32 pupils in each workshop.
We bring in 16 headsets and pupils will share one between two during workshops.
We recommend workshops lasting approximately 30-45 minutes.

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.

Our Reviews from Schools..
★★★★★
Before the day, Stuart was very prompt in his emailed correspondence and accommodating to suit our requirements. John was a really pleasant chap
who delivered the sessions world map sessions in a calm, fun manner and had a natural rapport with the children. I would certainly recommend PrimeVR to any school groups.
Around the World
★★★★★
Stuart and Chris from PrimeVR were brilliant and great with the children. They delivered 6 Around the World quiz sessions throughout the day at our library. The children and parents absolutely loved it especially the competitive element to it. The Around the World quiz is a really fun way for children to learn about different countries and places. We had loads of positive feedback from all the people who took part. Stuart was excellent at keeping in touch prior the event which made organising the event very easy. I would highly recommend PrimeVR.
