British Schools Museum

A museum of education in a unique complex of historic classrooms. Children of all ages can dress up in period costume to explore the classrooms, practice their writing in sand trays and on slates, play with Victorian toys and visit the Headmaster’s House to experience Victorian domestic life.

You can follow our family discovery trail dressed as a Victorian boy or girl or enjoy a guided tour (included in admission price).

Play with Victorian toys, games and puzzles, sit at the old desks and practice your lettering in sand or on a slate and visit the Headmaster’s House to see how a Victorian family lived.

Come and enjoy a Victorian lesson (first Sunday of every month). We have lots of special events for families during school holidays, follow our website and Facebook page for details

The British Schools Museum; it’s a simple equation; 200 years of education equals hours of fun for the whole family.
