INSET Days

INSET Days for Teachers

Our Prehistory experts have designed three courses for teachers to support planning and delivering an engaging Prehistory topic at KS2 exploring the ‘changes in Britain from Stone, Bronze to Iron Age’.

Stone Age – 29th April, 3-6pm

Bronze Age – 13th May, 3-6pm

Iron Age – 17th June, 3-6pm

Celtic Harmony Camp is an ideal location to inspire your knowledge and understanding of the topic, set in beautiful Hertfordshire woodland in a reconstructed Prehistory settlement with seven roundhouses. Celtic Harmony’s award winning outdoor prehistory education programme has been running for twenty years, the charity was a finalist in the School Travel Awards ‘Best Venue for History Learning’ in 2017 and 2018.

The day will also include a tour of Celtic Harmony Camp, prehistory settlement, exploring the roundhouses and surrounding woodland.
