Where possible, CCT's Heritage Learning team can work with teaching staff to deliver Covid-secure sessions for schools, both in historic churches and in the classroom. We are also offering an adapted programme in place of the usual school visits, with blended learning and digital workshops. Please contact the team to discuss your school groups' requirements.

Learning from historic churches

Churches are wonderful places to deliver many aspects of the curriculum and help learning to come alive in a practical and local context. They are great places to learn more about subjects like art, (local) history, archaeology, science, maths, architecture and heritage conservation – to name a few!

Looking for a Helping Hand?

Our Heritage Learning Team can tailor bespoke activities to your needs and deliver them in your local historic church or as outreach.

Or a Helping Handbook?

We can also provide teachers with everything they need for self-led, informal visits. See our teaching resources on this page for more information. Please always contact us to book your church visit, so we can ensure the church is open and available.
