Description

Leicestershire County Council's Culture Leicestershire team encompasses, Museums, Libraries, the Record Office and the Participation Team. As part of the Counties Museum and Heritage strand, Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre has run award winning learning sessions for many years. These include the engaging, hands-on and immersive living history sessions, which are facilitated by a small team of costumed interpreters, who engage students in aspects of life of a Roman and Medieval soldier. These sessions are delivered to an average of 7500 pupils per year, spanning across all three academic terms. The medieval sessions are delivered to all Key stage groups and Romans mostly to Key Stage 2. Most of the sessions are of a 45 minute or 1 hour duration and there are usually more than one class on site at the same time, meaning that up to three sessions would be delivered in a day.
