As part of their Term 5 learning about castles, Year 2 pupils will be visiting the Tower of London on Wednesday 18th March. During the visit, children will explore the historic tower, see the famous Crown Jewels, and learn about its past as a fortress, prison, palace and royal residence. They will also take part in workshops to deepen their understanding of its history.
We will travel by coach, leaving school at 8:30am sharp, so please ensure your child arrives by 8:10am for registration. We will leave London at 3:00pm and expect to return to school at approximately 4:45pm, although this may change depending on traffic. Any updates will be shared via Class Dojo.
What children need to bring:
Please note that consent is required for your child to attend, and children will not need any money as they will not visit the gift shop.
If you have any questions about the visit, please speak to the class teacher. We look forward to a fantastic and educational day exploring one of London’s most famous historic sites

Year 3 pupils will be taking part in an exciting educational visit to the Tower of London on Wednesday 18 March 2026 to support their learning.
In the first session, 'Knights and Castles', pupils will learn about the Tower’s role as a castle and fortress, identify key defensive features, and compare life in the Medieval period with life today. They will also take part in practical skills tests as they train to become a knight!
In the second session, 'The Queens Behind Henry VIII', pupils will explore the real women behind the famous “divorced, beheaded…” rhyme and discover about life in Tudor times.
The visit will be a hands-on, immersive experience designed to bring history to life in a memorable and engaging way.
We will be in touch with parents and guardians nearer the time with more information such as drop-off and collection times.
