Isle of Wight Museums and Schools Learning Programme

Welcome to the Isle of Wight Museums and Schools Learning Programme designed for KS2 and KS3 History, Geography, Science, Citizenship and Digital Technology subjects.

Here you can find a wealth of local digital history ‘Explorer’ maps to use in the classroom, plus other museum and classroom-based learning resources to complement your own teaching.

Use the links below to discover our new Isle of Wight Heritage Biosphere Learning Menu – a feast of creative inspiration for the classroom that inspires young learners to explore the rich heritage of this stunning Island. Great as an introduction to the Island for local and mainland schools.

Or focus in on a particular period or theme in the Island’s history to discover stories connecting young learners with specific subjects in the History curriculum at Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3.

Many of our resources connect with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals too!

Curriculum Subject Areas and Theme-based Resources
