Feedback from Teachers

Here is a positive comment from a teacher:

“This trip, combined with Bosworth Battlefield, was the best we’ve been on. It was extremely well organised and every activity was perfectly pitched to the children’s age and abilities. The Tudor characters interacted brilliantly with the children and really held their attention. A big thank you from a grateful teacher who usually finds trips quite stressful!”
