Explore our Key Stage 2 programme
School trips to the Museum of Classical Archaeology offer a unique glimpse into the ancient Greeks and Romans for those studying this topic as part of the Key Stage 2 History curriculum.
Our Education and Outreach Coordinator can offer educational sessions to help you make the most of your school group trips. These sessions are specially designed to build on classwork and help to bring the ancient world to life for your students.
Please note: learning sessions led by our Education and Outreach Coordinator are available Tuesday-Friday, 10am-2pm.
More information
Although the Museum is popular with Cambridge schools, we're always pleased to offer sessions to schools from further afield. And school trips to our Museum are not only fun and educational, they're affordable too: our education service is entirely free of charge.
We recommend a group size of 35 students at KS2 and our minimum for a visit led by is 10 students. There must be a teacher or leader with a DBS certificate present during the session. Adequate supervision is important because it ensures the safety of both the students and the casts, and we ask that you split into groups based on the number of leaders you bring.
We recommend the following ratios:
1 adult : 7 primary school students
1 adult : 10 secondary school students
We want your school group to have fun on your visit to us, but unfortunately we also have to make sure our collection is looked after. Groups who have to be repeatedly warned about behaviour may be asked to leave.
Our learning service is free
If you would like to make a donation to the Museum, we promise to spend your money on supporting and expanding our education programme and collections care. Any donation, however, is at your own discretion.
