Engaging School Workshops
Enrich your class topics with engaging school workshops that will really inspire young children. Experts in the subject areas you are studying can bring innovative learning through everything from theatre to problem solving.
Creative school workshops for your classroom
Creative topics that are thought provoking and sure to get your pupils enthusiastic about the subjects you are teaching.
Although you can work with the workshop provider to tailor the experience for your pupils, all you need to do is provide the space, whether that is the classroom, or a school hall. During a school workshop, specific resources and planning are taken care of for you, freeing up your time, and simply allowing the children to enjoy the experience.
Some school workshops only operate locally, but most can visit all UK regions. We have indicated on the workshops below how far they will travel. To find more inspiring workshops for the following subjects, please view the following pages:
