School Visits

he National Cycle Collection welcomes visits by Schools and Colleges. Primary School children find visits fascinating and are generally reluctant to leave. These visits are an ideal aid to sections of The National Curriculum. 6th form students find a wealth of technical information available, inspiring new ideas. A pupil from the acclaimed Thomas Telford School is in the process of gaining a patent for a device he invented having visited the collection.
During 2001 a successful programme of visits by the NCC to local Schools took place. Funding is currently being sought to continue these visits in the future.

This legislation does not affect the NCC directly, as School visits are supervised, however to avoid any confusion and to assist in the administration of arranging visits, The Curator, Mr. David Higman has voluntarily undergone successful Police screening.
