"Once again the children and staff were amazed by Living History Workshops. The interactive way that learning is brought to life engages every child and gives them the hooks to hang their learning on. All children's abilities are catered for, with a wide range of activities to enhance learning. The writing that has come from this session has been particularly impressive - evidence that what was learnt has "stuck"  A Moore, Cheriton Primary School..
