Home education

RAMM offers museum-led visits for home educated children. Join us and take an active role in learning about the fascinating world of the Ancient Egyptians, Romans in Devon or the Second World War and the Exeter Blitz.

The sessions are aimed at children aged 7 to 11 (Key Stage 2). They are individually ticketed, allowing you to book just the number of places you require.

The maximum number of children that will be present in one session is 20, with a minimum of 12 children needed in total from all families booking to run the session. At least one parent/carer, who is prepared to participate, should accompany each family group, and remain with the children throughout.

There are four activities/tours to undertake during each museum-led visit and we will allocate you into smaller groups 6 to 8 to participate for up to 25 minutes in each activity/tour.

Arrival will be from 10.15am with activities starting at 10.45am and finish at 2pm and will include a private room for the whole group to share. Lunch will be 12Noon to 12.45pm. It is recommended that you bring a packet lunch and any other snacks that are required. The private room can also be used as breakout space should a family member require it to step away from the active learning session.

NOTE: On arrival come to the garden entrance (adjacent to the Phoenix) at the rear of the museum so you can enter before the museum opens to the public. What three words directions.
