We offer a limited number of low-cost visits for eligible schools.

Eligible schools can benefit from our bursary scheme, which offers a 50% fee reduction on a school visit and/or learning session (online or in person).

The 50% reduction applies to:

  • Admission (£4.50 per student instead of £9)
  • Facilitated visit (£60 instead of £120)
  • Facilitated visit + learning session (£90 instead of £180)
  • Online learning session (£90 instead of £180)

The minimum charge for facilitated visits is 20 people. Please note that bespoke sessions are not available via the bursary scheme. 

The Museum is an independent charity and the bursary scheme is not supported by external funding. Availability of bursaries is limited.

Eligibility

We are accepting applications from schools where over 30% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, and which would not otherwise be able to access our learning offer.

We check eligibility using the data held on government’s ‘Get Information about Schools‘ tool.

Schools can apply for a maximum of one bursary per year.

How to apply

You will be given the option to apply when you fill out the in-person visits/sessions or online sessions booking forms.

Not eligible?

We are committed to making our online sessions available to all. If your school is ineligible for the bursary but the fee poses a barrier to access we will make every effort to subsidise the cost. Please contact us for more information.
