Memorable experience – Oxford Castle

KS1 pupils enjoyed a memorable visit to Oxford Castle, taking part in the exciting ‘King of the Castle’ workshop. The children climbed St George’s Tower, explored historic prison cells from different periods in history, and handled real artefacts. Through hands‑on activities and exploration, the children discovered what life was really like inside a castle long ago.

Pupil voice

The castle was destroyed during the English Civil war. Ashirai

Cats lived in the castle to chase the mice away. Ori

I know Kings and Queens lived in the castle. They sit on their thrones and talk to people. Serena

My favourite part was climbing the tower it was really high. Sienna
