National Railway Museum, Science Museum Group

Leeman Road, York, YO26 4XJ. England

Home to iconic locomotives and an unrivalled collection of engineering brilliance, the National Railway Museum celebrates the past, present and future of innovation on the railways. With our varied school programme, your students will learn about important engineering innovations and discover how science and technology have shaped our lives. Work together and follow your curiosity to get the most from our galleries by discovering objects and completing challenges in our Great Object Hunt trails. Students can also climb aboard and experience the thrill of being on the footplate of Mallard – the world’s fastest steam locomotive – in an exhilarating simulator ride.

Don’t forget, if you are looking for help with funding the cost of your trip, you can apply for a bursary!
