Useful Info: The session is exclusively for your class. We can accommodate only one class for each session. The minimum number of students per session is 10. The maximum number for Primary is 32 students.

V&A Virtual Classroom sessions are only open to UK schools. International schools can sign up to our e-newsletter for more information on upcoming programmes. Regrettably we will have to cancel any sessions that have been booked by non-UK schools and the sessions will be made available online for other schools to book.

As we have a limited number of sessions and would like to give as many schools as possible an opportunity to engage in our virtual programme, we request that you book a maximum of two sessions per term for Primary or Secondary. Regrettably, any sessions booked above the maximum number will have to be cancelled and the sessions will be made available online for other schools to book.

Sessions cancelled within two weeks of the session date are non-refundable.
