We ask that school groups bring appropriate adult supervision, as children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult supervisor at all times. School groups can bring a number of adults to the Museum free of charge, depending on the age of the students. Our adult to child ratio is:

• Early Years and Key Stage 1: one adult to five students (1:5)
• Key Stage 2: one adult to seven students (1:7)
• Key Stage 3 and 4: one adult to ten students (1:10)  
• Post 16: one adult to ten students (1:10)

If you are bringing extra adults with your group, they will be charged Admission to the Museum. Admission is £19.50 per adult supervisor.
