Roman School Trips
On the Romans KS2 school trip, you will be legionaries in the Roman army in Roman Britain with the hope of making a name for yourselves and earning your way up through the ranks...
Ufton Court's experiential Roman school trips are a fantastic alternative to Roman day at school or to support your Roman school project ideas. During a Roman school trip, groups become new legionnaire arrivals to a strange new land.
Your visit will centre on our settlement, woods and farmlands where they will take part in crafts and skills, games, drama activities and Roman soldier training. Our Roman narrative will allow your children to experience Roman life, as it would have been in nearby Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester).
Your children will experience drama and fun in the activities that they do with us, all of which promote historical understanding, teamwork and problem solving.
