Thanks for your interest in our Aurora Day programme.

Due to an upcoming site regeneration project, the Aurora Day programme will be based at the National Maritime Museum in the 2026-2027 school year. 

We ask that you book a maximum of around 10 students into an Aurora Day slot. This allows us to adjust our content to suit individual needs and ensures the site isn’t too crowded for groups that need a quieter environment. On the day you visit, there will be up to one other Aurora Day group on site, but you don’t share space with them during the day.

Please read the following information carefully before completing this form.

All school sessions must be booked in advance. We do not accept provisional bookings. Once our Bookings Team confirms your booking, a confirmation letter will be sent to the lead teacher and school finance team. Please note we have a strict 28-day cancellation period. If you would like to know more about our cancellation fees, please refer to our booking terms and conditions below.

Our preferred payment method is BACS. Alternatively, you can pay by card by calling 020 8312 6608.

We do not send invoices or accept payment by cheque.
