About

Florence Nightingale, the impact of WWI, the science behind modern medicine, and the downright grubby state of a Victorian street – just a taste of the sheer scope of what a day with the Thackray Education Team offers.

They have something for everyone, from Early Years to KS4+ and all that comes in between. Their self-led trails and workshops explore a range of topics such as History, Science, PSHE and Design and Technology.
