Primary school workshops

Following an exciting redevelopment of our learning programme, we are thrilled to introduce our new range of engaging and in-depth workshops for primary school students.

Each session supports the history curriculum at KS1 and KS2, showcasing our unique collection of historical documents and providing structured and well-paced activities designed to develop history enquiry skills, build confidence working with primary sources and support learning back in the classroom.

Led by experienced history facilitators, our free 90 minute sessions allow students to get inspired by London’s past!
