Guide to workshop length and numbers
In-person workshops are normally for 30 children (sometimes 45). For years 5 and 6 (and occasionally year 4), we sometimes do synagogue workshops for 60 children together if a full hour is available, but then it is less hands-on and more like an assembly. At secondary level, we sometimes offer seminars for up to 100 children, like an extended assembly with a presentation, but this format is not recommended for primary — even secondary children benefit from being in a group of 30 if possible.
With a virtual visit, two or three classes can participate in a single session simultaneously, allowing more children to be included even at primary level.
A typical workshop length is 30–50 minutes for a single topic, or longer if multiple topics are covered. KS2 and secondary children benefit most from longer sessions so they have time for detailed explanations. KS1 benefit most from small groups so they participate most actively. For year 1, 30 minutes is often sufficient, but a full hour can also work very well for some groups.
