2 Introduction Westminster Abbey For nearly twelve hundred years - perhaps for longer - it is believed that a religious community has existed in the area we think of today as Westminster Abbey and its precincts. Divine service has been celebrated within the walls of the Abbey church on its present site for over nine hundred years, and Westminster School, which had its origin in the monastic school, remained even when the Chapter had been expelled during the Commonwealth. There are other centuries-old links: the Benedictine tradition of welcome to visitors; the coronation church of all the crowned sovereigns of England since William I in 1066, the burial place of royalty, of the great in peace and war, of the lesser men and women who have served the Abbey, and of those who have been benefactors or who simply lived near by. The Abbey has evolved as a building, having been enlarged several times over the centuries, but always at its heart has been the daily rhythm of prayer and worship. Because of this it is a superb educational resource and we welcome those who wish to learn from this most remarkable building. This document is designed to support teachers as they plan a visit to Westminster Abbey. We hope it will provide sufficient information to help teachers guide children on a visit. It is also to be used as an information document for health and safety guidance and other aspects, to help ensure that the visit will not only be educational and informative but above all memorable and safe. Teachers will know that because the building contains so much that will be new to the children, careful planning, forethought and information will make your visit a success. 2
3 Your self-guided school visit Whilst we hope that teachers will be able to take advantage of our newly-opened Education Centre, those who wish to are able to come on self-guided tours between September and June. July and August are exceptionally busy months and we do not permit school groups to come at these times as pupils may not have a satisfactory experience. It is important to book your visit in advance in order to ensure that the Abbey is open and in order for us to keep a record of the number of school visitors. We can also advise you of any special events that may affect your visit. Schools just wishing to visit the Museum, Cloisters and Gardens are also asked to book. Although no charge is made to visit these areas you will need a ticket. How to book Once you have an idea of a date for your visit please contact the Education Department. The number of self-guided groups per day is limited so if we are full on your chosen day please have another in mind. We are usually teaching between 10am and 2.30pm so the best way to contact us is via . educationuk@westminster-abbey.org. If you need to call us, our bookings number is Once a date and time have been agreed, we will then you a booking form which we ask you to complete and return to us. What to do during your visit During your visit if you need help or answers to questions from the children you cannot answer, please ask one of the Abbey Marshals (in red gowns) or an Abbey Volunteer (in green gowns) and they will be very happy to provide the information. 3
4 Before your visit Pre-visits Teachers are welcome to come on a pre-visit and a member of the Education team will meet them if at all possible. Please in advance to arrange a time and access to the building. Teachers on pre-arranged visits are admitted free of charge but others accompanying them are asked to pay. Planning the education element of your visit A School visit to Westminster Abbey is often an awe-inspiring event for children. The Education Department recommends that pupils focus on a specific theme during their visit to avoid being overwhelmed! A number of self-guided trails are available either to download from the website or to collect on arrival at the Abbey. These are constantly being added to as we develop the Education service so do check back regularly. Briefing your adults It is important that all the adults with your group are fully briefed about what is expected of them. Please impress upon them that this is not just a day out but that they are expected to look after their groups and should be prepared to discipline children if necessary. Abbey staff are not able to distinguish between teachers and parent helpers so all should be aware that they are teachers for the day and are expected to behave appropriately. Groups may well get separated when it is busy so adults must be responsible. Please remind them that they should not use mobile phones or cameras in the Abbey. Briefing your students Make sure your students know where they are going and have an idea of the importance of Westminster Abbey to the history of the nation and the Christian faith. Select a small number of key things that you want the pupils to look out for and make sure they know what they are. Make sure you know where to find them! Better still, download a trail from the website and go through it with the children before you come. It might be worth explaining that there will be tombs there and ensure that the pupils are comfortable with the idea of visiting a place which has dead people. 4
5 On the day of your visit Arrival and departure The coach set down point is in the Sanctuary, at the front of the Abbey. The School teacher must arrange the collection point with the coach driver. This is normally Tothill Street where coaches may park a short distance from the Abbey. See for details of this coach parking. The maximum number of people (including adults) per booking is 30. (see Group Sizes below) On arrival, groups should go through the archway into Dean s Yard, turn left and report the marshal in the corner of the yard. The group leader should then go to the Chapter Office, Number 20 to pay. They will be given coloured badges which all students should wear during their visit. They may keep these as a souvenir. The marshal will then direct the group to enter via the Cloisters. The entrance time you have booked is only a guide and you may have to wait for other groups to enter ahead of you. Access People with restricted mobility can enjoy visiting the Abbey and its environs but need to be aware that there are a number of steps and uneven floors. There may be some difficulty for those using wheelchairs in some of the chapels. Please make sure that you let us know on the booking form if you have pupils or staff who have such difficulties. Group sizes Space is limited in the Abbey so the maximum number of people, including adults, who can tour together, is 26. A class of 30 children is best split into two groups of 15. Toilets There are limited public lavatories in the Abbey near Poets Corner. Please note that these are NOT near the entrance but are more than half-way round. There are also toilet facilities provided by the Westminster City Council in front of the QE II Conference Centre in Broad Sanctuary, a charge is made for their use. The shop This is situated at the West Door, and there is a small stall in the Cloisters. The children are welcome to visit our shop, with adequate supervision. 5
6 On the day of your visit Health and safety Please ensure that pupils are aware that the Abbey is an ancient building and that they need to bear certain things in mind in order to keep safe during their visit: Remind children to look where they are walking. Some areas of the Abbey might be dimly lit and the floors and steps are uneven in most areas. There are also a number of low doors and steps that may not be immediately obvious and care should be taken. It can be very busy. Keep children together and count them regularly! Should there be a need for First Aid there are Abbey staff trained in this. Please refer to a member of staff in red or green gowns or staff on the Information Desk if you need any help. An announcement over the public address system will be made if an evacuation of the Abbey needs to take place. Please follow the instructions and directions given by the Abbey Marshals (red gowns). If a member of the party gets separated advise them to go to the Abbey Information desk and report to a member of staff. Teachers are responsible for the supervision and safety of the children in their charge at all times. A ratio of 1 teacher to every 10 pupils is required. Do not enter any part of the Abbey that is marked Private or which has been roped or cordoned off to prevent access for safety reasons. Fire safety An announcement over the public address system will be made if an evacuation of the Abbey needs to take place. Please follow the instructions and directions given by the Abbey Marshals (red gowns). If in any other part of the Abbey precinct, including the Education Centre, please follow Abbey Staff instructions. During a visit your class may be in small groups; not all groups will be evacuated to the same muster point. Each group leader must have a copy of the list of children in their group in case of an evacuation. We regret that no photography or filming is allowed within the Abbey. Please ensure mobile phones are switched off. 6

10 Questions asked by pupils Pupils often ask these questions so it is useful to know the answers! Is the Abbey still used for worship? Worship takes place every day in the Abbey, usually four services daily at 7.30am, 8am, 12.30pm, 5pm. On Sundays there are six services at 8am, 10am, 11.15am, 3pm, 5.45pm, 6.30pm. Prayers are said from the pulpit every hour which helps to remind visitors of the Abbey s primary purpose as a church. Please ask the children to keep still and quiet at these times and invite them to pray if they wish to. What special services take place here? Special services take place here, including those for schools. Kings and queens are crowned here and other services, royal occasions, memorial services and funerals, occur throughout the year. Princess Anne and Prince Andrew were both married here, and more recently the funerals of the Queen Mother and Princess Diana were held here. They are not buried here, though. Special events also take place including concerts, lectures and poetry readings. Are people really buried here? Yes. Over three and a half thousand people are buried here that we know about. There are many more whose names are now lost to us. There is not really any more room to bury bodies but ashes are sometimes interred (buried) here now. Not every person with a memorial stone is actually buried here, though. Who are the most famous people buried here? 30 kings and queens, including Henry III, Henry V and Elizabeth I are buried here. St. Edward the Confessor s shrine is also his tomb. Other famous people include Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton and Geoffrey Chaucer. It is also the resting place of the Unknown Warrior, who represents all people killed in armed conflicts. Who is the most important person buried here? This is a matter of personal belief. One answer might be the Unknown Warrior, an anonymous soldier from World War I, representing all those who have died in conflict. The other could be St. Edward the Confessor, without whom the Abbey would not have been so important. Why do people have to pay to visit? Westminster Abbey receives no money from the government or from the Church of England. The Abbey receives about 1 million paying visitors per year and gets most of its money this way. 10
