MLD Session
About this session
Key stage 3, Moderate learning difficulties (MLD) | Subject: History | Topics: Tudors | Session type: Route-based
In the Tudor period, religion was a hotbed of revolution. The rollercoaster of religious changes led to widespread confusion and turmoil, impacting both the royal family and their subjects.
This session has been especially adapted for students with moderate learning difficulties and is delivered by an SEN-trained presenter. Students will explore primary evidence from the buildings of Hampton Court Palace. They will analyse the impact of changes in religion during the period of King Henry VIII and Queen Mary I in one of the key locations where religious and political decisions were made.
What to expect?
- The session will be led by an historical character in costume. This facilitator is trained in working with SEND audiences.
- The session is flexible according to the needs of your students but can involve role-play and questioning.
- Your group will be led to different outside and inside locations around the site. Students will be standing for the most part.
