Outreach

Outreach - Bring history to life in your classroom!
All sessions are based around our inspiring handling collection and are ideal to prepare for or reinforce a museum visit. Activities for KS1&2 can also be adapted to suit KS3, GCSE exam revision and special needs. Sessions last approximately 45 minutes and can be booked independently or as an extension session to a class visit to The Herbert.
Outreach sessions are only available to Coventry schools
