Schools at the George Müller Museum

Free sessions for schools – at our museum, in your school and online.  Free group talks and visits.

Your School at our Museum

We offer free visits for school groups.

Our two-hour sessions are interactive, engaging and offer pupils the opportunity to explore life in the Orphan Homes.  We fit into the history and RE curriculums and tailor our sessions to suit your learning outcomes and needs.

Each session includes:

  • A presentation by our Heritage Team with lots of opportunities for joining in

  • Artefact Handling with a chance to discover what life was like for the children in Victorian times

  • Worksheet for museum exploration with a guide on hand to help

  • Time for questions and finding out more

And if you travel here by train we can meet you at Ashley Down station to walk you here!

Our Museum at your school

We bring our sessions into your classroom free of charge.

We cater each lesson to your learning needs and outcomes and bring some of our artefacts with us for your class to enjoy.

We are also happy to present interactive assemblies for multiple classes.

  • It was perfect! The children were really hooked in…making lots of links to their History, RE and Geography learning.

    Year 5 Teacher

  • Children were engaged throughout the whole lesson. It was pitched brilliantly, and the questions involved them in the session.
