From virtual sessions and online resources to an ever-changing exhibition programme and inspirational objects, the V&A is the place for creative learning.
Please note we have temporarily suspended school visits to the museum, however, we look forward to welcoming schools groups back for self-guided visits in Autumn 2021. Sign up to our newsletter to keep updated on our programmes and booking a visit.

V&A Virtual Classroom
Connect your class to the V&A via Zoom with our live interactive sessions. Delivered by museum educators and professional designers, we bring objects and design to life virtually.
Sessions for Primary include V&A Voyage, Pattern & Maths and Design Explorers, while Secondary students can explore 20th-century design movements, zero-waste pattern design and design thinking.
Resources
We can support your teaching with our fantastic online resources – including the new Explore the Collections online search tool which features amazing objects to use in the classroom to support the curriculum.
Our YouTube channel has a wealth of short films filled with artist and designer interviews, Object in Focus films and exhibitions.
Download our free resources to inspire learning across the curriculum.
V&A INNOVATE
V&A Innovate is a teachers' resource hub and annual National Schools Challenge, asking students in years 7, 8 and 9 to work in teams to design a solution to a real-world problem.
Combining the shared knowledge of today's leading designers with our world-leading collections, this Key Stage 3 initiative will energise the next generation of creative, thoughtful and change-making young innovators.
