School & Educational Visits

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).
