Experience St Paul’s Cathedral
We offer curriculum connected themed Guided Visits for all key stages from EYFS to KS5, all of which are adaptable for SEND students/groups. Explore the religious symbolism of the Cathedral’s artefacts and art in our Sacred Space session; learn how St Paul’s rose like a phoenix from the Great Fire of London in London’s Burning; marvel at our glorious ceiling mosaics and make your own mosaic tile to take home in our Majestic Mosaics workshop; think about the ethical issues facing the church today and question a priest in The Big Issues; investigate the design and architecture behind Wren’s masterpiece in Building a Cathedral; encounter stories of bravery, sacrifice and survival in our Cathedral at War session, examine the role of the Cathedral as both a place of worship and a business in A Fine Line. We also offer specialised GCSE workshops for Religious Studies and History (Restoration England). Booking Now - Summer Term 2022: We will be offering an additional Guided Visit to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The Discover St Paul’s: Joyful Jubilee session will explore the Cathedral and discover what a Jubilee is, which Jubilees have taken place at St. Paul’s and what is special about the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Students will gain an understanding of the role of St. Paul’s Cathedral as the Nation’s Cathedral in National celebrations. The visit will include the chance to explore our new exhibition St Paul's, the Monarch and the Changing World. The students will reflect on the Jubilee with a craft workshop, creating their own bunting to take back to school. Inspired by the textile project on display, created by local schools, the students will come together with their class and create bunting that celebrates them as individuals in the Platinum Jubilee year. To book please select this theme in the options provided when booking or please enquire for more information. Available to book from 6th June for this summer term only. Schools from outside of the UK are welcome to visit St Paul’s Cathedral but will need to book via the Admissions Department. Please click here for further details. If you book a Guided Visit you will be provided with a free Resource Pack containing a variety of activities to do in the classroom before and after your visit to the Cathedral. For more detailed information about the sessions/workshops available please see our Primary and Secondary Brochures.
