Winners of the Sanford Award for Heritage
Education 2021-2026
The National Tramway Museum offers children and young people a wealth of learning opportunities. Our award winning Learning Team can offer a variety of Museum led sessions suitable for all ages from Foundation to Key Stage 4 and above. Students can study history, art & design, science, maths, literacy, IT, functional skills, leisure & tourism and more.
We can also provide a number of resources to help make the most of a self-led visit. The Learning Department can assist with planning your visit and discuss ways to help your group get the most out of their day.
The Learning Department will ensure that resources, including facilitated sessions, have appropriate and robust links to the National and other curricula. All resources will be subject to ongoing review to take account of any changes to these curricula. Resources will be developed taking into account links to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).
“The day ran very smoothly, even though there were other schools there. All the staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. As a teacher, you do get quite stressed about visits. However, this was one of the most enjoyable and stress free visits I have been on in my 26 years of teaching. Thank you all very much and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this visit to others and I will be coming back.”

“Thank you to all the staff at the National Tramway Museum for making us feel so welcome. Everyone was friendly, approachable and helpful, and their positive attitude contributed greatly to the success of our visit. The children had a fantastic time, and we really appreciated the opportunity to visit. We would be delighted to return in the future and would happily recommend the museum to other schools.”
