In-person visits

Come and explore St Paul’s Cathedral with your own dedicated and knowledgeable member of the Schools and Family Learning team. We can tailor our curriculum-focussed sessions to ensure that it engages your students and supports your work back in the classroom.

A guided tour gives you access to everything from handling objects and taking part in fun activities, to exploring behind the scenes of the Cathedral.

Virtual visits

If you are unable to visit us in person, why not join us on a virtual visit? Our dedicated team will ensure that your students are fully engaged with lots of unique digital resources which have been tailor-made for remote sessions.
