CLASSIC BOAT MUSEUM
Schools
We welcome schools from all over the world and a school trip to the museum is the perfect supplement to the national curriculum and an enriching day out for your class. Learning materials for Key Stage 2 and 3 have been developed in collaboration with the Isle of Wight Educational Services under the “Museums and Schools” programme, funded by the Arts Council.
We offer great opportunities for schools
Key Stage 1: Safety at Sea – visit to the Boat Shed and learning activity in the Gallery
Key Stage 2: Prepare to Sail – visit to the Gallery, Safety at Sea and Transport Through Time
Key Stage 3: Local maritime history project
Group size: 15-30
Please contact Jan Ford on education@maritimeisle.org or 07747 602 707 to book.
There is plenty to see and do at the Museum and a fantastic way to learn about the maritime history of the Isle of Wight.
