Schools information

We can help you bring the excitement to learning!

All of our sessions can be used to support learning objectives and are for a maximum class size of 35. The programme uses the museums' rich collections along with local landmarks and history to create memorable and interactive learning experiences.

All sessions are flexible and can be adapted to meet your needs. If you don't find the topic you are looking for, just let us know. We always welcome suggestions for new topics and ways to help you.

Sessions include a diverse range of approaches including role-play, enquiry-led learning, sensory exploration, archaeological analysis and lots of hands-on activity - there's no dry history here!
