Key stage 2
Our Key Stage 2 visitors explore this incredible space through discovery of all the features, sights and sounds of the Cathedral.
Pupils are invited to explore the Cathedral in pairs or on their own where they will discover the key features of the Cathedral connected to the practice and expression of the Christian faith.
With the aid of the Treasure Hunt Booklet that we provide, students will explore the Font (baptism), the Nave (space of safety for the people), Sanctuary (place where Eucharist is prepared)
Questions are posed to develop the pupils’ thinking about these key aspects of worship, designed to ignite the pupils’ own enquiring minds. We hope that the experiences and memories will last long beyond their visit and enrich further learning in the classroom.
If schools are here for the day, we offer our Crypt for a lovely lunch space
The trail last for approximately 90 minutes and will end in our Sanctuary where we discover the secret of Cathedrals – the Cathedra (Bishop’s Seat).
Workshops
Many schools choose to add a workshop to their trail to make a whole morning for their visit. Some of our workshops on offer are featured in our Workshop Document.
