Welcome to Portals to the Past
Reception, KS1 and KS2 Earth Science/Prehistory
and KS2 History Workshops for Primary Schools.


Portals to the Past offer affordable, educational and fun Earth Science/prehistory and history workshops. Give your pupils a truly memorable experience with people who are passionate about the past.

Why pay for expensive coach trips, insurance cover and site entrance fees when we can provide a complete history service in school? No need for extra staff or parent helpers. No time lost on risk assessments and travel arrangements.

From Primordial earth to Early man, Ancient Greeks through to WW2, let our workshop leaders take the strain out of teaching Earth science and History. Prices start from as little as £250 + travelling for a full day's KS2 workshop, with one workshop leader.
