Schools and teachers: booking a visit

During 2013 the Museum is closed to the public and school groups while essential roof repair work is completed. The adjoining Pitt Rivers Museum of anthropology and archaeology remains open throughout.

Our Education service continues with an expanded and targeted outreach programme, reaching primary, secondary and special educational needs (SEN) audiences across the region. For more information about what we are doing see the Schools and teachers section.

All outreach teaching sessions are available free to schools, but our early years and primary service is operating on a targeted basis during closure, focusing on non-visiting rural schools. Secondary teachers may book outreach sessions and further education groups can book special study days in the Museum using the contact details below.
