Sherborne Museum - Working with the community

Community
Schools School visits are valued. Thanks to our Schools Officer we are able to offer an outreach project which is often followed up by welcoming parties of schoolchildren to the children for further study. STOP PRESS Sherborne Museum is delighted to be one of the museums in the South West to have been selected to take part in a new exciting project to work even closer with local schools by setting up Extended Learning Packages for next season to link closely with their curriculum

Schools Liason Committee Sherborne Museum has strong links with local schools and is delighted to have been awarded Strategic Commissioning Funding administered through SWMLAC to set up loan boxes for schools. Schools representatives are pictured with Museum President and Chairmen of the Schools Liason Committee John Firmin (centre) and Museum Education Officer Ray Penn (second right) and some of the items in the war time loan boxes.
