Stockport Hat Works Musuem
Pupils enjoyed a fascinating educational trip to the Hat Works Museum to support their learning about local history. The children explored our region's rich industrial heritage, gaining a deeper understanding of the Victorian era, the Industrial Revolution, and the historical importance of local factories. They loved seeing the original 100-year-old machinery used in hat manufacturing and learning how technology evolved over time. Getting to try on a wide variety of historical hats was an undeniable highlight of a memorable and hands-on day out!
Local History - Stockport County Community Trust
Diving into primary historical sources, children explored the rich heritage of Stockport County Football Club and its ties to our town’s evolution since 1883. The session, delivered by Stockport County Community Trust, offered a brilliant opportunity for pupils to hone their skills as local historians while deepening their pride in the local community.
Prehistoric Britain Workshop
From storytelling to hands-on archaeology, a Prehistoric Britain workshop gave our children a thrilling taste of ancient history! After sculpting traditional pottery, our young explorers excavated hidden artifacts from sand trays, bringing the past to life and inspiring a few future archaeologists along the way!
