The Museum welcomes school groups (pupils from Years 1-11 as well as students of all ages) and designs visits to suit to the needs and interests of each individual class. Visits can be designed to be short (one hour or less) or last a full day.

Peace is a wide-ranging topic and ties in well with the National Curriculum in many ways.
