The British Schools Museum

Few places can make as just a claim as The British Schools Museum to have learning at the heart of their mission. This inspirational setting in Hitchin takes visitors through the evolution of educational practices from 1837 to today. With the world’s last remaining purpose-built Monitorial Schoolroom, a Victorian Gallery Classroom, a Victorian teacher’s house and 20th century classrooms there is rich material for formal and informal learning programmes. The Museum’s dedicated team bring it to life for school groups in guided visits, with costumed interpretation and interactive sessions. The overall sense is of a supportive museum community who care about their organisation and are keen to welcome learners.
