Although our regular programme of Discovery Sessions is mainly aimed at KS1 and KS2 pupils, we are always happy to discuss how we can support KS3 and KS4 learning.
Additional learning resources, which can be used before, during and after your visit, can be found below. Many of our activity sheets can be adapted for KS3 and above.
STEAM features fantastic historic and interactive displays exploring the history of Swindon and the Great Western Railway. It is ideal for visits linked to the history of transport, the impact of the railways, industrialisation, local history, art, engineering and figures of historical significance, including Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
School bookings for self-guided visits are available for any Key Stage.
