The Midlands

The Midlands, England's Beating Heart.
Immersive VR Experiences Delivered Directly to Your School.

The Midlands is home to one of the largest and most diverse school communities in England. The West Midlands alone has over 2,275 primary schools and 423 secondaries — with Birmingham leading with 471 schools, followed by Coventry with 124 and Wolverhampton with 110. Add in the East Midlands cities of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, and you have tens of thousands of pupils within reach of a Discover VR session. We travel from our Wakefield base via the M1 — putting Chesterfield, Derby, and Nottingham within 90 minutes — and are willing to make the longer journey to Birmingham, Coventry, and the wider West Midlands for schools who want something genuinely unforgettable.

The Midlands has extraordinary curriculum breadth — industrial heritage running from Ironbridge to Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, natural landscapes from the Peak District to the Malvern Hills, and city communities as diverse as any in England. Our 22+ VR workshops are designed to match that breadth: Space, Climate Change, and Plate Tectonics for Science; Ecosystems, Rainforests, and Polar Regions for Geography; Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, World War 1, and World War 2 for History; and our brand new Climate Change & Sustainability workshop, mapped directly to the incoming statutory Citizenship curriculum. Whether you're in Derby or Dudley, Nottingham or Northampton, Leicester or Lichfield — we bring everything directly to your classroom, with one headset per pupil and nothing for your staff to set up or manage.

The Midlands invented the industrial age. Its pupils deserve learning experiences that help them imagine what comes after it.

    Barkston & Syston Primary, Grantham

    Langold Dyscarr Primary, Worksop

  • “Discover VR were fantastic when accommodating our year 7 students for a space VR day, just before our upcoming space topic. It was fun and engaging for our students and pitched at an appropriate level. Communication in advance of the event was fantastic too and I would definitely recommend again in the future. Thank you.”

    Outwood Academy Foxhills, Scunthorpe

  • “Our children loved their VR experience. It was a lovely way to bring their learning in the classroom to life. Liam was very knowledgeable about each of the topics and the whole booking process was easy! Thank you!”

    Holgate Academy, Nottingham

  • “It was amazing. Liam was super. The way it was delivered was professional, engaging and overall just amazing. This was a perfect experience to help engage our year 3 students to volcanoes and earthquakes - a topic that we can struggle to engage them in due to the context not being very relatable. Liam was also super helpful throughout the whole booking process and went out of their way to answer any questions. It was honestly so amazing, the kids fully enjoyed it and was able to come away from it with so much information.”
