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. We welcome schools from all over the world.

​

If you are UK-based, 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 Stages 1-3  have been developed in collaboration with the Isle of Wight Heritage Service under the “Museums and Schools” programme.

​

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
