School visits
Bede's World Education Service offers a range of sessions for schools. These are designed both to satisfy the needs of teachers following the National Curriculum, and to enable pupils to explore the potential of the museum, site and farm to the full. Visits include hands-on activities, handling boxes and dressing up.
All of the education sessions are led by a fully trained, Disclosure-checked, member of the Education Service, and run for around 1 hour 45 minutes. All materials are provided unless otherwise stated. The current visits are:
