Coronavirus Update

Schools are coming back, but lockdown is not quite over. We look forward to offering you virtual workshops in March, but we will not be making in-school visits yet.

 

Where Things Stand

Our focus in March will be virtual workshops. We currently offer nine topics – the full list is elsewhere on the blog – and we have four more in production:

  • Tudors
  • Victorians
  • Mayans (new topic!)
  • Stone Age to Iron Age (new topic!)

We hope to return to in-school workshops after Easter holiday. By then, we anticipate many of our teachers will be vaccinated, making our travel to schools safer for us and for you.

Bookings

We are taking virtual bookings for March and beyond, while in-school bookings are available from 13th April onwards. Please contact us for availability and costs.

 

Cancellation Policy

As we have throughout the pandemic, we are waiving all cancellation fees for bookings lost to coronavirus closures. If your bubble or school closes due to coronavirus, we would hope to work with you to reschedule to the first feasible date. But we will understand if the school needs to cancel.

Regrettably, we will need to apply cancellation fees as normal this school year for non-coronavirus-related cancellations, but it is our hope to continue to be flexible and reasonable considering the risks still prevalent in the UK.

 

Contacting Us

In line with government guidance, our office staff are still working from home as much as possible. Please contact us via e-mail or our enquiry form and we would be happy to help you with your bookings or answer any questions. As we are working from home, please be patient if there is a lag in our response times.

 

Thank You

We are humbled by the outpouring of support schools have shown us this year. Many of you have reached out with words of encouragement, hoping we would again return to your schools. We are incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your understanding through this temporary closure. This space will be updated as the guidelines for schools and the coronavirus situation continue to change.

We hope you, your families and your school communities stay safe. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
