Schools Programme
Fantastic experience – opening the doors for ideas to transfer back into the classroom.
So useful to see how we can use the museum in a planning context.
Great to find out lots about the careers within a museum.
Pupils found the experience really enjoyable and for most, this was their first visit.

Resources
A range of resources are available for Teachers and Group Leaders to download in advance of a visit or to support classroom learning. Our 'Educators Packs' explore objects and themes currently on display in our galleries.
