"The study of history has an essential role to play in teaching skills that will develop an enquiring mind. In the creation of an 'authentic' Victorian School based on true commitment, years of research and an enviable collection of primary sources, Sally North and her helpers have provided teachers and visiting children with the opportunity not only to fulfil elements of the history curriculum and draw comparisons with living in the 21st century but also to practise a variety of cross curricular skills. This is a rich and unforgettable experience."
