The Voyage Of The Golden Hinde Maritime History Programme For Primary Students


Experience an engaging journey into maritime history aboard the remarkable Golden Hinde, where pupils step into the world of Francis Drake and his legendary circumnavigation. Through guided, hands-on exploration and replica handling sessions, students gain a vivid understanding of life aboard a 16th-century galleon. Costumed educators bring the past to life, encouraging curiosity and participation as pupils move through the ship’s decks and cabins, discovering how sailors lived, worked, and survived during long sea voyages.


Discover a dynamic learning environment that blends history, creativity, and critical thinking. This popular KS1/KS2 programme immerses pupils in storytelling and interactive activities that inspire comparison between past and present lifestyles. By examining the daily lives of sailors, students learn about the challenges of navigation, the importance of supplies, and the resilience required to survive at sea for months or even years at a time during the age of exploration.


With thoughtfully designed pre- and post-visit resources, students are encouraged to reflect, express ideas through writing and drawing, and deepen their understanding across subjects like history, English, and art, making the experience both educational and memorable. The programme is structured to support classroom learning, providing teachers with the tools they need to extend the impact of the visit long after the students have returned to their school environment and daily routines.


This programme is a cornerstone of the Golden Hinde's educational offerings, providing a comprehensive and engaging look at maritime history. By focusing on the voyage of the Golden Hinde, students gain a personal connection to the past, making history feel relevant and exciting. Whether through handling replicas or exploring the ship's structure, pupils are actively involved in their own learning process, ensuring a deep and lasting understanding of this important historical journey.
