The Department of Classics, Ancient History and Egyptology is very happy to work with primary and secondary schools both in Wales and further afield. We can offer workshops and talks at your school or at a historical site, and opportunities for school pupils to visit our department and learn about Classics and History through taster sessions and workshops
