How we work with schools

We welcome early years, primary, secondary, college and SEND school groups to the Museum for bookable creative workshops, as well as self-led visits.

We have been working in partnership with two local primary schools to co-develop a new Discovery Garden on the Museum grounds, creating access to child-friendly green spaces.

Discovery Garden

Museum of the Home’s north garden was previously a shady thoroughfare for visitors accessing the Gardens Through Time.

We are now transforming this underused space into a Discovery Garden in partnership with two local schools. This three-year project is exploring soil health, seasonal planting, biodiversity, sustainable food production and building processes, ecology, urban wildlife and healthy living.

School Visits

School visits to the Museum invite students to discover what home means to them.

We currently offer a range of creative workshops for early years, primary, secondary college and SEND school groups. All sessions are curriculum-linked and explore issue-based themes including gender equality and activism, migration and identity, and sustainability.

For those looking to get to know the museum independently, we also offer self-led visits.
