Steyning Museum is always keen to offer practical support for schools
The Museum
welcomes school visits on any weekday and offers teaching on a variety
of topics. We are fortunate in having several teachers, past and
present, amongst our volunteer support staff.
Our staff are always happy to work with schools and to plan visits to the Museum which meet your needs.
We are also able
to bring artefacts and offer individually tailored sessions within
schools to meet aspects of the National Curriculum.
Just call our curator, Chris Tod on 01903 813333 to discuss your requirements.

Can you help us to increase our support for schools?
Teachers are
invited to submit original writing, photographs, art-work or web-ready
material produced by their students. Any age group can contribute to
our online School History Web. All we ask is that, in the teacher's
judgement, the material will be helpful to others following the
National Curriculum and has a local history content which is not
already covered for the age group on the School History Web.
If you are a
teacher and would like to submit a piece of work, please write a
covering note with the following information:
Your name
The name of your school
The first name only of the student
The school year for which the piece is relevant
You are welcome to deliver the piece personally at the Museum, email it or post it.
The address is:
Chris Tod, Curator,
The Museum, Church Street,
Steyning, West Sussex
BN44 3YB
Telephone: 01903 813333

We hope these pages can extend the work of Steyning Museum in supporting local education.
