British Schools Museum

About

The British Schools Museum in Hitchin, Hertfordshire preserves a remarkable collection of historic schoolrooms spanning three centuries of British education, from an 1800s Lancasterian monitorial classroom to a 1950s secondary modern. Pupils' desks, slates, and original teaching materials remain in place, offering an immersive glimpse into the history of childhood learning. Regular living history school days and family activity sessions make it both educational and engaging.
