Accessibility:

Please note that due to its historic nature, the Gallery Classroom is not wheelchair accessible. There are three steps to reach the classroom. Entry to the Head Master’s house is over a few small steps and the first floor can only be accessed via a narrow curved staircase. Videos of these two areas can be shown to those who cannot visit these areas.

Group visits can be varied to enable visitors with disabilities to fully experience the site and understand its history. Shorter, customised visits are also available for children's and young people's groups. Please call in advance to discuss your needs.
