    History & English Masterclass Programme Summer Term 2024

    The History and English Masterclass brings the two subjects together in an exciting and innovative way at a level designed to stretch the most enquiring Year 5 pupils.  With Kimbolton Castle being the former home of Katharine of Aragon, our school has a unique historical connection.  The classes take full advantage of this with each session focussing on a particular stage of the Castle’s history and involving associated creative writing or drama.

    Masterclasses will run on the following Saturdays and children must be available to attend all 6 sessions within their chosen programme. 

    The timings, including the introductory briefing for parents and final week presentation, will be:

        History & English A History & English B

    How to apply

    When booking, please select whether you wish to attend History & English A or History & English B

    Although each session is independent of the others, we expect children to attend all the Masterclasses in the 6 week programme.  There is no charge, but places are limited, and we cannot guarantee a place for every child who applies. 

    We have written to the headteachers of participating schools to invite them to nominate suitable children. The deadline for applications is Monday 1 April 2024. We will email all parents/carers to inform them of their success (or otherwise) in obtaining a place by Monday 15 April. Please check your junk/spam box if you have not heard from us by this date.
