Welcome to York Archaeology Learning
Learning, education and training
York Archaeology learning programmes support learners from pre-school to post-graduate level, from school visits to training digs. As an educational charity, we provide engaging and accessible ways to explore archaeology and history, both in and beyond the classroom.
Here you can find everything you need to plan a school trip, along with information about educational activities at our award-winning attractions: JORVIK Viking Centre, DIG, and Barley Hall. We also offer a range of resources for use in the classroom or at home, including virtual outreach sessions and Loan Boxes filled with real and replica objects.
Our learning team has extensive experience in delivering high-quality archaeology and history education in accessible and innovative ways. Our programmes are designed to support the National Curriculum and work across a range of subjects. We offer sessions for Primary and Secondary schools, as well as home educators, and work with partners to create engaging outreach opportunities that bring the past to life for a wide range of learners.
