“We had a fantastic experience with Education Group who delivered a wonderful maypole dancing workshop for our Reception children. The session was engaging, fun, and perfectly pitched for their age group. Communication both before and during the workshop was excellent — everything was well-organised and stress-free. The children had an amazing time and are still talking about it! Highly recommended!”

“We had a brilliant experience of Education Group VR animal workshop. All of year 4 thoroughly enjoyed the experience and to take part in a unique activity. They learnt facts about different animals and were immersed into their habitats. Brilliant session and could not recommend these any more.”
