Primary school education

Following an exciting redevelopment of our learning programme, we are thrilled to introduce our new range of engaging and in-depth learning sessions for primary school students.

Each session supports the history curriculum at KS1 and KS2, showcasing our unique collection of historical documents and providing structured and well-paced activities designed to develop history enquiry skills, build confidence working with primary sources and support learning back in the classroom.

Led by experienced history facilitators, our free two-hour sessions allow students to get inspired by London’s past!
