All our programmes combine at least three of the following National Curriculum subjects: RE, English and Drama, History, Science, Art and Design, PSHE/Citizenship, Music and PE.
Whether exploring bible stories from the medieval roof bosses or re-enacting the life of a Benedictine monk, these programmes use the creative arts to open the way for children to learn, reflect and express themselves through their encounter with such an awesome building.
Although Key Stage suitability is suggested, activities can be tailored to suit specific requirements and those with special educational needs. We frequently collaborate with secondary teachers to create and deliver a package tailored to requirements and are currently working on specific programmes for KS4 and 5.
