Schools sessions are available during term-time, to school groups studying the UK National Curriculum. Sessions must be pre-booked.

When you call

Please telephone the Bookings Unit on 020 8312 6608 to arrange your visit. You can call seven days a week, 10.00–16.00. When you call please ensure you have the following information:

• the date of your visit, time of arrival and a range of possible alternatives. Be realistic with your travel time and take into account any restrictions you may have.
• the learning needs of your group, including any Special Educational Needs.
• the number of pupils and accompanying adults – our suggested ratio is one adult for every 5 pupils (Foundation stage and Key Stage 1), one-to-eight for Key Stage 2 and one-to-ten for Key Stages 3 and 4. Pupils must be accompanied by an adult who will be responsible for maintaining discipline at all times on site.

Please remember to ask about relevant support materials for your visit. Please enquire when you book about the school’s lunch room and cloakroom.

Pre-booking is essential.
