What happens when you embed immersive learning in primary education?

Immersive Learning Journeys was an ambitious programme that explored what happens in schools when we deliver a range of immersive learning projects over a period of three years. Working closely with school staff and communities, the programme was targeted at pupils who will most benefit. 

Each school had run multiple Punchdrunk Enrichment projects including The Lost Lending Library, A Curious Quest, A Small Tale and The Vanishing Land. From Spring 2023 each school also received Route 158, a new immersive learning experience that has been developed specifically for the programme, which ran over two years.

The Schools

We were proud to work with the following schools, all based in the Royal Borough of Greenwich:

• Haimo Primary School
• Heronsgate Primary School
• James Wolfe Primary School
• Linton Mead Primary School
• Middle Park Primary School
• Montbelle Primary School
• Morden Mount Primary School
• Wyborne Primary School

 Sharing what we discover

Our evaluation partners, i2 Media Research, developed a bespoke model to measure and report on the impact of what we do. In the first year of the programme, we worked with i2 Media and the schools to co-create a toolkit of qualitative and quantitative methods and measures which look specifically at young people’s confidence, purpose, motivation to learn and self-efficacy. 

Immersive Learning Journeys is supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the Royal Borough of Greenwich school improvement service, and Peabody.
