Guided Tours and Talks for 14-19 Year Olds

A visit to Bletchley Park provides support across the National Curriculum and is particularly relevant to the study of History, Mathematics, Information, Communications & Technology (ICT) and Citizenship. These visits are also suitable for gifted and talented pupils.

Single-focus guided tours and talks are tailored to the specific age group. At present we cover three subjects: History, Mathematics & Computer Science.

British and World History can be made the focus of the Walking Tour of the Site which includes a visit to The Bletchley Park Story, our exhibition on how Enigma and other Axis messages were intercepted and deciphered here during the War.

• Walking Tour of Bletchley Park (incl. The Bletchley Park Story), 1-1.5 hrs

Mathematics is covered by a general talk on cryptography, or specialist talks on the Enigma or Lorenz ciphers and how they were broken. Choose one talk which can be coupled with a 1-1.5 hr duration Walking Tour of the site to make a day of your visit:

• Codes & Ciphers, general talk, 1 hr,
• Mathematics of Enigma, specialist talk, 1 hr, or
• Breaking Lorenz - Enigma’s Big Brother, specialist talk, 1 hr

Computer Science is the topic of the talk

• Colossus - Principles & Technology, 1 hr which is usually taken in conjunction with a visit to the Computer Museum (45 mins) and/or the Walking Tour (1-1.5 hrs).
