Roman Baths
Roman Baths
The Roman Baths is a favourite for children and their teachers to find out about the Romans and Roman Britain, and children can work with original Roman material..
We have a specially designed education space with a stunning view overlooking the Great Bath. It is probably the only teaching space in Britain in which children are positively encouraged to look out of the window! It is definitely the only one with a secret floor panel, through which you can look down to the great Roman drain four metres below!

Romans Revisited
The observation, investigation and handling of artefacts and sources offers pupils the chance to explore Roman bathing and Roman life at this historic site. This also encourages them to make important links to their own lives today.
This session allows pupils to build upon key skills, such as evaluation and interpretation, as well as encouraging them to come to well-reasoned conclusions based on analysis of evidence.
