Bringing Learning to Life: HMS Courageous Submarine Visit! ⚓️🛠️
When one of our Home Education learners expressed an interest in engineering, we got to work behind the scenes!
Thanks to a brilliant collaboration with Morven at Building Plymouth / Skills Launchpad Plymouth and Callum at Babcock International, our Home Ed families enjoyed an exclusive visit to HMS Courageous—stepping inside a real submarine and exploring engineering careers in action. 🚢✨
What our families say... 💬
"As a home-educating family, we're always looking for meaningful learning opportunities that bring subjects to life. Our visit to HMS Courageous exceeded all expectations... It was one of those experiences that simply couldn't be recreated from a textbook, and we're so grateful to On Course South West for making it possible." — Rowena, Home Education Parent 💙
A huge thank you to everyone involved for creating such an inspiring day!
