Education and Group Visits

Key Stage 3

Our KS3 sessions cover history and citizenship topics, allowing pupils to learn via roleplay, discussion and investigation.

At the Workhouse pupils roleplay both the inmates and Guardians in ' Who deserves what? You decide' and make a judgement for themselves as to whether the workhouse system was fair or not.

At the Courthouse groups can re-enact both historic and modern court cases and are led in discussions to consider the process of court proceedings and the fate of the accused. Modern cases demonstrate to young people the process of modern Youth Court cases and the consequences of crime for the individual.

At the Prison & Police Museum you will learn about the punishment of young people in Victorian times and compare aspects of contemporary and historic policing on guided tours of our ancient prison building.
