The Castle is suitable for local history studies, including Houses and Homes at KS1. Usk Rural Life Museum has a trail around Usk available for KS1 and KS2 from the Museum.

A full days package can be arranged incorporating the Castle, Town Trail and Museum on an era to suit your curriculum requirements. The Castle site also makes an ideal backdrop for Drama and Literacy. Why not write poetry? Have fun with scavenge hunts and trails. Visit the Castle to think about the countryside and think about how to care for it. Hunt for minibeasts and create your own, an ideal way to link art, science and the countryside. Use fieldwork and enquiry skills on site and get your pupils to use their senses to explore the environment! There are plenty of opportunities to practise numeracy skills; measuring, counting, tallies, frequency and symmetry. Estimate height and solve problems.
