Why would the national curriculum benefit from a dose of our carbonic soap?

What’s the best way of opening children’s enquiring minds to their local history? Education Woodhorn is dedicated to helping school children understand and appreciate past events and social conditions that shaped life in the North East.

Hands-on learning

Give your pupils a bar of soap and a poss tub and they’ll be in no doubt about the harsh realities of a washday during the 1930s. Put them in Aneurin Bevan’s ‘shoes’ on our 1950s speaker’s platform to sharpen their interest in communication skills. Education Woodhorn is specifically designed to target the needs of the National Curriculum,
Key Stage 1 - 4 and QCA schemes of work.

Topics and treasures

Our schools pack can be tailored to deliver a range of topics from the role of women at work to the Miners’ Strike. Pupils can be encouraged to question and research for themselves. With the aid of on-site experts, pupils can test their research skills by exploring the archives of our Study Centre. It houses a treasure trove of artefacts covering 700 years of County history.

Tested for teachers

All activities and topics have been informed and researched by professional educators, in liaison with schools throughout Northumberland. Once on site, you can be confident of the wealth of experience dedicated to engaging the minds of your class. As well as the secure facilities and space to feed and entertain them.
