Windhill Primary
Sheffield

Dan Tastic Education provided us with a great Knights & Castles Workshop! The workshop facilitator had great enthusiasm, keeping the young children engaged for the duration of the workshop. The workshop was very informative and the children really enjoyed exploring some of the different artefacts and items brought to the workshop! Would highly recommend!

The Grange School
Daventry

We've had Dan Tastic Education visit us on more than one occasion this year; working with year groups across the school, covering a range of different themes. These have ranged from Superheroes with the whole of our EYFS (including Nursery children), Knights & Castles with Year 1 and a very impressive Stars and Stripes suit for the USA unit with Year 4 children. Without exception, every child and member of staff was impressed. We would recommend Dan Tastic Education workshops without hesitation!

Ingfield Manor School
Horsham, West Sussex
Last week some of our Secondary and Primary students from Ingfield Manor attended a Knights and Castles workshop, delivered by Nick from Dan Tastic Education, to support our class and English topics. Nick was great with the students and adapted his sessions according to the students’ needs. They all enjoyed trying on bits of armour, holding a real sword, playing medieval games, seeing a bow and arrow fired and dancing to medieval music. The students asked some great questions such as ‘did the horses wear armour?’ Some of comments from the students, such as ‘I felt like a king’ and ‘I liked dancing and holding things from the past’ showed how enlightening they found their session. Even the staff also got involved in the dressing-up!

Dan Tastic Education came to our school today and ran an excellent workshop on Knights & Castles for Year 1. It was fun, interactive and the children were hooked. I can thoroughly recommend this company to colleagues in primary education.
