Schools at Thackray

Posted

Florence Nightingale, the impact of WWI, the science behind modern medicine, and the downright grubby state of a Victorian street — just a taste of the sheer scope of what a day at Thackray offers. We’re here to inspire your students to:

  • Gain curriculum-based knowledge
  • Understand about caring for ourselves
  • Think about careers in healthcare
