Victorian School Trips

Take a look back at the Victorian period, that lasted from 1837 until 1901; the reign of Queen Victoria I. This period was relatively peaceful and saw the country continue to prosper economically from the Industrial Revolution. A relatively recent period of our history, your class can learn about the Victorians through a number of popular workshop topics.

Give your class an authentic Victorian day with school lessons that take them back in time to the late 1800s to experience what their ancestors would have known.

From strict maths and science lessons to playground games and toys. On a Victorian school trip, you may wish to visit a museum dedicated to the industrial revolution such as the factories and mills that produced goods like cotton.

Or take a closer look at Victorian crime and punishment - how the justice system worked and prisoners were treated. The Victorians was a time of great inventions, social reform, but also extremes of wealth and poverty.

Learn about significant individuals and their contributions, famous Victorians such as Florence Nightingale, Ada Lovelace, and the suffragettes. For those studying English, the works of Charles Dickens, writing in the Victorian period, bring together many of the above themes.

Whatever your topic, we have lots of Victorian workshops for school groups at all Key Stages.
