Current Education Offer

Due to country being in a national lockdown, the Archive is currently offering its virtual sessions for schools. Our current risk assessment for these sessions can be found here.

We are constantly reviewing and assessing new guidelines as they are released. We will update this page with information on our education programme as and when we can.
