About the primary schools programme
All visits, study days, sessions at your school and online resources are provided by the Museum FREE of charge. A charge is made for sessions run by other organisations.
What's on offer?
Sessions and gallery visits
You can search for sessions relevant to your class by going to What's on - schools. You will be allocated self-directed time in the relevant gallery as part of your session.
Sessions include:
- object handling and replica costumes
- gallery drama and theatre performances
- storytelling and puppet shows
- creative literacy, including structured role-play.
'At your school' and 'School & Museum' sessions
For Foundation Stage classes we offer a limited number of 'School & Museum' sessions, which combine a visit to your school with a Museum visit.
Teachers resources
All booked sessions are supported by resource packs. Links to these are provided from the session description found through What's on - schools.
Self-directed visits

Supporting the primary curriculum and cross-curricular learning
Visits to both our Museums can support and inspire learning across the curriculum. Our collections offer huge scope for engaging and inspiring pupils.
Much of our provision has been developed around the QCA units. Our sessions concentrate on development of the skills, attitudes and dispositions that children need to become well-rounded individuals and lifelong learners.
We welcome creative use of the Museum to support cross-curricular learning that develops successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. Please contact us to discuss ideas for new sessions or resources to help you explore different historical periods or topics in our galleries.
