1. Does The Herbert loan its objects to schools? No, but our Outreach Officer can visit you in your classroom with a range of different objects. See the section on Outreach for further information.

2. Where can we park? School coaches and minibuses can drop off pupils at the side of the museum in Bayley Lane but no parking is available on site.

3. Does The Herbert learning team offer bespoke sessions? No, we do not offer bespoke sessions but if you have any specific needs or requirements please contact us directly.

4. Are the learning sessions adaptable for different age groups and abilities? Our learning sessions are designed for specific key stages, but our team of learning officers are able to adapt them for different age groups and abilities. Please contact us directly to discuss your needs.

5. How much does it cost to bring a school group?

Our independent visits remain free of charge. This includes general visits to the museum galleries and also our specially developed independent visit resources.

Our Active Learning Sessions, led by a Learning Officer, are charged at £3.50 per pupil. There is no charge for class teachers or any accompanying adults.

Our Outreach learning sessions, led by a Learning Officer, are charged at £4 per pupil.

6. Why do you charge? As an independent charity, in line with other museums in Coventry and across the West Midlands, we need to offset our costs in order that we can continue to offer opportunities for all and bring history and the arts to life for future generations.

7. Are there lunch facilities? Lunch spaces can be available, please specify at time of booking. Booking a lunch space is currently free of charge.
