History School Trips and Residential Trip Programmes
School History Trips at Ufton
On Ufton History school trips, classroom learning is brought to life by our experiential education team, allowing the children to become fully immersed in the past.
Whether exploring the Grade 1 Tudor Manor House, learning about Boudicca in the Celtic Roundhouse or curing a cursed field as a Saxon, our school history trips and activities are designed to support your history curriculum, using the unique resources at our disposal to inspire and engage your group.
Our 44-acre site in Berkshire includes ancient woodland, a Viking long ship, Celtic settlement, medieval ponds and Tudor Manor House complete with secret priest holes.
We have a wide range of curriculum linked programmes for your class at both KS1 and KS2 and each historical programme follows its own story line – at Ufton Court's school trips for history, perhaps your children will become part of the Saxon Reading as settlers or a Tudor Petty Constable investigating strange goings on at the allegedly Catholic Manor.
