Focus of the Trip: Local History Study
A small, cosy museum with friendly guides. The museum has lots of information on the world wars and artefacts which the children can handle and look more closely at. We visited as part of a creative week and spent a total of 3 days in the museum. A really interesting way to learn more about Bath history as there were rooms set out from different work places in Bath and the children really enjoyed looking at all the old machinery. There is a really useful learning space upstairs which we used to further ideas – the children wanted to design their own machinery. We returned to school and researched influential people in Bath and the different trades that they had learnt about at the museum.

Please use this space to advise teachers on how to get the most out of their trip. From our research, teachers would particularly like to read about:

  • How well did the trip support your objectives?
  • Were there any particular parts of the venue that were more or less useful for this?
  • Is there anything you wish you’d known before your trip?
  • What were the adverse weather facilities like? (if applicable)
  • Do you have any advice/comments about the facilities e.g. lunch arrangements?
  • What was the quality of the staff led guided session like? (if applicable)
  • What suggestions do you have for pre or post-visit activities

I certify that I have recently taken a group of children/young people to this venue on an educational trip. My 'teacher experience' is a reflection of my genuine opinion and experience of this venue and does not name staff. I do not have any other associations with this venue and they have not offered me any incentives to write it.
