Secondary School Programme

At Newbridge House and Farm, we aim to enable students to develop the necessary conceptual understanding, disciplinary skills and subject knowledge to investigate the action of people in the past and to come to a deeper understanding of the human condition.

We are committed to developing in young people, an appreciation of the cultural achievements and accomplishments of previous generations. Enabling students to enjoy learning about the richness and diversity of human experience in the past. This will encourage an understanding in students of how the people and their actions in the past have shaped the contemporary world.

Imagine life in Newbridge House 100 years ago.

Are you with the family upstairs, reading in the library & entertaining in the grandeur of the red room?

Or

Are you stoking the fire in the cook’s kitchen and dining in the servants quarters?

Hear the stories of the household both upstairs and downstairs in Newbridge House and visit the rooms that have stood still in time.

The Tour is especially created to aid the school curriculum, by developing an interest and curiosity in the past, whilst teaching an understanding of the concepts of change and continuity.
