  • Enhance your teaching in the classroom with memorable activities that support your Cultural Capital aims.
  • Access historical objects and original sources of evidence that aren’t on display to the public.
  • Enjoy exclusive use of the Simmons Learning Room as your base for workshops and lunch space.

How do I book a school visit?

All schools visits must be booked at least one month in advance. Please take a look at our sessions below and use the online form to make your booking.

To help you to get the most from your schools visit, we recommend that you make a planning pre-visit to The Box. You can also download our Teachers Hazard Assessment below to help you to write your own risk assessment.
