School Visits

The Cathedral Schools’ Department is very happy to tailor visits to meet specific requirements. Visits will be organised and managed by a member of the Cathedral Schools’ staff. A typical morning session from 10.00am - 12.30pm would include a welcome and introductory session followed by workshops and a tour. Cost £2.50 per pupil. Shorter visits can also be arranged for the afternoon. Brass Rubbing is available for Special Needs Schools only.
