VR Workshops: Enriching the Curriculum with Immersive Technology

“Justin came into school to work with our Year 3 pupils for a VR session on the theme of Ancient Greece. The engagement was fantastic and the children were extremely enthusiastic and spoke positively and with excitement following the session. We look forward to Justin returning to work with other year groups later in the year…” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kirsty Huddart, Prior’s Mill Primary School

“We booked Mr Peoples for our British Science Week celebrations and took part in both climate change and animal adaptations workshops for Y4-6. His manner with the children was excellent and the workshops themselves were fantastically organised. The buzz we got from the children was absolutely amazing, they’ve not stopped talking about it! We will definitely be booking again for next year and for future projects.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Emily Mackay, Pennyman Primary Academy

“I just wanted to say thank you for today- my class absolutely loved their time with you, they were literally buzzing! Seeing the animals and feeling like they were in Arctic was so valuable for their learning and I think they’ll remember it for a really long time! It was engaging throughout and really relevant to the curriculum. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Georgia Mutch, Applegarth Primary School

“Justin recently came to our school to deliver a VR experience on climate change. Wow! It was utterly fantastic. The children were highly engaged and loved it (as did I!) They were able to learn so much in a way I would never be able to do in the classroom. We can’t wait to have him back!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Emily Wells, Vane Road Primary School

“Justin recently visited our school to deliver the VR workshop on climate change in the polar regions and it was absolutely fantastic for our UKS2 pupils! The immersive experience brought the polar regions to life, allowing the children to see melting glaciers, polar wildlife, and the effects of climate change firsthand. It sparked curiosity, deepened their understanding, and prompted meaningful discussions about how we can protect our planet. A truly memorable and impactful experience that I would highly recommend for schools looking to inspire and inform.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rhiannon Porter, Sleights Primary School

“We had a brilliant day with EduPeople VR! The sessions were incredibly well-organised, and Mr. Peoples was both knowledgeable and engaging, making the day enjoyable and inspiring for all our KS2 pupils. Each year group had a unique and immersive adventure and the children were captivated and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.This was an unforgettable experience that brought learning to life—we highly recommend EduPeopleVR to other schools. Thank you for such a fantastic day!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alice Thompson, Handale Primary School

Stephanie Bowness, Stead Lane Primary School

“Justin came into our school in Northumberland last week and the kids absolutely loved the whole VR experience. We have only just started our geography topic on mountains, but they learned so much in the session and are really excited to explore more on this topic. Justin was well organised, very professional and so friendly. Would 100% recommend!”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our Mission

To enhance and enrich your curriculum using immersive technology.

We deliver VR workshops for schools in North Yorkshire, Tees Valley, County Durham and North East England.

Our VR workshops draw on almost 15 years of teaching and leadership experience to create unforgettable educational experiences that students don’t just observe—they feel and live.

While students embark on their virtual adventures, teachers gain valuable professional development opportunities, discovering innovative ways to incorporate immersive technology and oracy strategies into their daily practice.

The Erosion of Enrichment

The number of senior leaders reporting educational visits being cut rose to 50% in 2023 (up from 21% the previous year) according to The Sutton Trust. Absence and school avoidance are increasing, and more pupils are presenting as disengaged. How do we get them to lean into the curriculum?

The Solution: Affordable, Inspirational Learning Experiences

Even in a thriving school with a vibrant curriculum, most students will never get the chance to visit historical sites like The Acropolis or the natural wonders of the world. Now they can! Our VR workshops for schools transport up to six classes to the most fascinating and awe-inspiring destinations for the price of one class hiring a bus for a local visit!

Our virtual reality workshops are primarily history, science and geography. The sessions we offer can be found in the gallery below. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch.
