Types of School Visit

We offer school visits throughout the year on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays where possible.

School Visits are tailored to the age group of children you will be bringing and will involve an input on your specified RE subject as well as an activity to engage the children with their learning: this may be art or craft, a song or a drama activity.

Topics previously covered as part of a School Visit include:

Baptism Symbols of the Christian Faith

Features of a Church/Cathedral

Worship Peace (linked with Remembrance)

A visit to the Cathedral will also include a tour of the Cathedral to learn about the building and an opportunity to be still in the peace of our beautiful space.

Please complete a School Visit Booking Form if you would like to book a bespoke visit for your pupils. These visits can take place at any time of the year, please get in touch to discuss suitable dates.
