The museum collection: Since 1994 we have built up a separate collection of material relating to education and childhood, that has been donated to the British Schools Museum. There are now more than 10,000 items in the collection, telling the story of early elementary education, childhoods and the home lives of the children. Donations within these collecting areas are most welcome. We have a Collections Development Policy which guides us as to what we accept, so please do contact the curator via telephone or email to discuss first.
Parking: Unfortunately, we have no facilities for on-site parking. The two closest options are: St Mary’s Square car park (SG4 9TN, short stay, 300m walk) and Woodside car park (SG4 9SG, long stay, 650m walk). There are now more than 10,000 items in the collection, telling the story of early elementary education, childhoods and the home lives of the children.
