This is an important part of the museum's raison d’etre. The museum has an Education Officer, Ann Mansell,
who will be happy to help you to plan your visit and to meet
your aims and objectives. The Education Programme is flexible
and designed to help you. The museum is very ‘hands on’ for
many artefacts, a museum quiz and treasure hunt are
available for all children visiting the museum, helping to
engage young visitors with the displays.
Entry to the museum is £1 per pupil. Many
of the museum’s volunteers have experience in a variety of
forms of education, from primary school to agricultural
college.
Enactor Sessions
Pre-bookable ‘Enactor sessions' for
Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 provide the opportunity for
‘hands on’ and make history ‘come to life’. There is the
chance to try costumes on and for pupils to enact different roles.
Professional actors, who are all qualified teachers, deliver
these sessions. All periods of history are covered: -
Victorians, World War II, Tudors and Stuarts, and Romans and
Celts. These can be arranged to suit you and can currently
be arranged for approximately £3 per pupil.

A Day in Usk
We are now working with Usk Castle so why
not let us help you to plan a day in Usk, visiting
the museum, Usk Castle and following the town trail? It’s ideal
for a local study and there are numerous possibilities for
project work. The ‘Treasure Hunt’ helps to focus KS1 or KS2
pupils.
Mission Visits
This academic year, it is possible to arrange
‘mission visits’ in your school. The charge is kept to a
minimum to cover travel and incidental expenses. These
visits last for 1 hour and focus on either World War II
Evacuee or Victorian homes & family life.
The Link Age Project
