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.
Our V&A Virtual Classroom sessions are now fully booked for the rest of the academic year, however, sign up to our Schools e-newsletter to keep up to date on our plans for Autumn.

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.
