On arrival all students will take part in a ‘Highlights’ tour of Olveston Historic Home. Teachers will be given the opportunity to select an education programme that supports the students’ understanding of the key elements within Olveston. All students taking part in LEOTC programmes will be transformed into ‘Edwardian children’ by wearing authentic costuming for the duration of their visit to the house.
