Secondary schools - other types of visit

What is on offer for secondary schools, other than enrichment days?

For smaller secondary school groups, we offer workshops and self-led visits. Some of our gallery explorer kits aimed at KS2 can still be useful to KS3 groups. You can also use some of our printable activities.
