Prices & Offers for Schools

COVID-19 Update

During this time we are unable to accept self-led visits to our museums by school groups

We are looking forward to welcoming school groups back to our sites after this period of lockdown. Our Learning Team have been furloughed during the museum closure, but are now working hard to adapt our educational programme to ensure we can offer you our usual high quality and exciting activities, whilst introducing new measures, following government guidance, to provide a safe environment for you, your pupils and our staff.

We are able to take provisional bookings for onsite visits, but please be aware that we are making some changes, with details being confirmed throughout the summer holidays. Should you make a provisional booking we will confirm your visit as soon as we are in a position to do so, ready to welcome you back for the Autumn term. We are also developing a virtual schools offer, enabling us to bring our activities direct to your school through online media. Keep a look out for important updates regarding this over the coming weeks.

Museums and Schools

We are involved in an exciting partnership with the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, to help Primary school teachers to arrange more museum visits, and bring the curriculum to life for their groups.

Using funding from the Arts Council and the Department for Education, we are working to increase the number of primary schools taking part in high quality educational visits to museums in Coventry.

By encouraging schools to get pupils out of the classroom and into museums, together we will spark young people’s curiosity and encourage a lifelong passion for culture and learning.

Please click here to download a risk assessment form.

Please note that all schools must book before their visit.

Any school that visits without booking will be required to pay an admission price of £7 per child and £10.50 for adults.

Please note there is a 33% charge for cancellations within one month of the visit and 100% charge for a cancellation on the day, except for circumstances beyond your control.
