Explore our secondary learning programme
The Museum of Classical Archaeology is a popular destination for school trips for students from Years 7 to 13. Our Cambridge Museum offers students taking a variety of subjects an opportunity to expand their knowledge of the ancient world. We are ideally placed for visits from Cambridge schools, but we also welcome schools and colleges from further afield.
We have a dedicated Education and Outreach Coordinator, who can lead your trips for school or college students – or if you prefer, you can self-lead instead.
Please note: we do not currently have an Education and Outreach Coordinator in post and are currently offering only self-led vists. We expect to offer museum-led visits again in September.
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.
Maximum group size for a secondary school visit is 25 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. We recommend one supervisor per every 10 students.
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.
Highlights Pack
We have also produced a Highlights Pack designed to introduce A-level students to the collection and support their studies. The Pack contains 15 loose-leaf essays written by research specialists in the Faculty and can be purchased for £5 from the Museum.
