Schools Resources
We have a range of resources available to help schools find out more about the history and legacy of the Royal Navy.
Trails and Activity Sheets
Trails can be a great way to engage children and help them focus on exploring the museums collections. We have trails about topics such as:
- Colour I Spy
- Eating and Drinking
- The Sailing Navy
- Nelson
- Science
- Art
Please contact the Learning Department to find out more or you can download the trails by visiting the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard website by clicking here.
HMS Victory Loans Box
The loans box contains a range of replica artefacts, photographs and activity ideas to help your class find out more about life on board HMS Victory.
The box can be used as a lead in or follow up to a visit to the Royal Naval Museum and HMS Victory but could also be useful if you are unable to visit the Dockyard and would like to offer your class a different way of learning about history.
To borrow the loans box at a special introductory rate of £10 for a fortnight please contact the Learning Department by emailing
