Tatton Park and the National Curriculum

Tatton is set in 1,000 acres of parkland. It has three sites of special scientific interest, plus buildings and collections which date from the Anglo-Saxon Invasion through to the 1950s.

Tatton Park – A Cross-Curricula Day Out

The opportunities for different kinds of educational visits to the wonderful setting of Tatton are constantly expanding. It is possible to use a visit to the estate not only to help fulfil the requirements of the history curriculum but also as the basis of creative and imaginative work on language and descriptive writing, mathematics, science, art, design and technology and geography.

We can adapt the structure and content of the activities to your school's needs to ensure you have a rewarding visit - just ask for further details.

Our extensive educational programme offers:

• Living History sessions that give children an experience of everyday life from the Anglo-Saxon period to World War II.
• Hands-On History Days, which offer whole year groups the opportunity to bring history alive through practical activities!
• Site Study Tours and Themed Study Tours which cover all stages from Foundation to A-level and beyond.
• Environmental Days which are science and geography-based educational programmes.
• ‘Playing Up’ offers imaginative activities in English and English Literature within a heritage environment.

Tatton’s excellence in the field of historical education and interpretation has been recognised by the Heritage Education Trust who have awarded it 6 consecutive Sandford Awards.
