The Museum is a great place for young people to explore popular education themes. All schools visits are free. The format for an educational visit is normally a guided tour by our dedicated volunteer staff, followed by an education session chosen from a menu of activities.

The Museum is happy to discuss any requirements with schools and tailor your visits to meet the specific needs of your pupils; teachers are encouraged to discuss their precise requirements with us.

The Museum also offers preview sessions so that teachers can familiarise themselves with the environment and the displays.

We can offer specific sessions for primary schools on a variety of topics, such as:

• The Great Fire of London
• Victorians
• The Blitz
• People who help us, safety
• Investigating Uniforms
• Art and Design Science (pumps, extinguishers, sprinklers etc)
