Gallery and Classroom Sessions

Handling objects is a key element in our gallery and classroom sessions. These are based around our unique collections. All sessions underpin the requirements of the National Curriculum and are in line with QCA recommended schemes of work. (For full details see the Sessions page)

Loans in your Classroom

Loans Online enables everyone to browse over 1,500 loans boxes packed with museum collections that cover all areas of the National Curriculum. As a subscriber, you can book your choices online, up to two years in advance, allowing you to plan lessons ahead. The boxes are delivered to and collected from your school twice each term.

Katesgrove Classroom Experiences

Bring your children to experience life as a Victorian school child. Katesgrove sessions are part of the membership choice available.

Online Resources

Online resources are available to extend and reinforce our sessions and loans boxes. They can be purchased direct from the museum. You can use your electronic Learning Credits (eLC's) for these resources.

Flexible choices for schools

Our Hands-on Learning menu options allow you to devise a flexible programme that fits with your own teaching needs. Services and prices have been created specifically to meet the needs of today’s busy teachers. We feel confident that you, your pupils and their parents or guardians will want to become a member of Hands-on Learning.

Free Services

Museum staff can visit your school to provide advice and information about our services and exciting ideas on how to use museum objects.
