Student Groups at RA Fort Nelson

The Royal Armouries Education team offers schools a different and exciting approach to national curriculum subjects.

We can provide a range of activities tailored to suit the demands of the National Curriculum, incorporating elements of practical investigation and object handling to produce a learning environment which ”stimulates and excites pupils’ curiosity about phenomena and events in the world around them”.

Book a session from our Education Programme and take advantage of our Diamond Deal or you can devise your own visit to the museum and tailor a tour for your students.
