School Testimonials
“Thank you so much for making our history day come alive.
The children thoroughly enjoyed their time with you and everyone had high praise for your great knowledge and enthusiasm!”
“Wow, can I just say how fantastic you are. We had a brilliant day and the kids loved it. Thank you for making our history day so special. Thank you once again. Your communication was brilliant and your ideas were super!”
“The students gained a great amount of knowledge from the workshop, and enjoyed learning about a different aspect of WWII and VE Day. This has helped Year 6 to have questions answered that we did not get to cover during our WWII topic. It also allowed other pupils to gain further knowledge, or beginning knowledge about the importance of WWII.”
“Ten out of ten! I was taken aback by just how good the Time Travel Theatre actors were – and by the impacts the workshops had on the pupils!”
