Please ensure that you have an appropriate ratio of adults:pupils to supervise your group. We recommend 1:6 for primary children and 1:10 for secondary children
Teachers and adult helpers are responsible for supervising the behaviour of their group at all times
Please arrange adequate First Aid cover for your group's needs. Teachers should carry First Aid at all times. First Aid assistance is available on-site in an emergency. Please report any accidents to a member of staff at the Information Desk
Pupils should be encouraged to use our hands-on exhibits gently. Teachers and parent helpers must intervene if they see a pupil using an object in a dangerous or destructive manner
Pupils are expected to put hands-on exhibits back in their proper place after use, for other visitors to enjoy
Please do not allow pupils to climb on Museum displays or furniture
Please report any damage to a member of staff at the Information Desk
For their own safety, pupils should be prevented from running in the Galleries
