Schools Banner

















The Tank Museum Learning and Outreach Service offers an exciting range of workshops for schools and other groups using the Museum’s unique collection of tanks and related artefacts.

Winner of The Sandford Award for Heritage Education 2009. The Tank Museum’s superb collections are supported by well thought out and imaginative educational programmes which can be adjusted to the requirements of individual groups.  The Museum has thought hard about the service it offers to visiting schools, developing an excellent object handling collection and recreating a section of trench, an air-raid shelter and even a WW2 house.  Everyone at the Museum seems to take a pride in the educational service provided – even the catering staff play their part by supplying ‘wartime lunches’ for visiting groups. Julian Humphrys, Lead Judge

Sessions led by our specialist education team use a thoroughly "hands on" approach to
bring the Museum and its Collections to life.

Covering the period from the invention of the tank in 1916 up to the present day,
sessions can be tailored to meet the requirements of all age ranges and types of group.

Most sessions are available as outreach, using presentations and items from our
Handling Collection. Please contact the Education Team for more information
regarding Outreach Services.

You and your colleagues were great. We were all impressed by the mixture of friendliness, enthusiasm and real knowledge shown at all stages. Bill Hanna, Monkton Combe School, Bath
