The museum highlights the history of the borough in a way that appeals to all ages and helps to bring both our lives, and those of our ancestors, into sharp focus with the latest in high tech displays and interactive exhibits.

Education at Clifton Park Museum

At Clifton Park Museum we offer a variety of learning opportunities for school pupils, early learners and adults.  Groups are welcome to attend on an unassisted visit, or book on to one of our led sessions.  Our school sessions are linked to the national curriculum, and also focus on the history of the Rotherham area.  We cover subjects including Old Toys, Romans, World War II and Victorians; many of our sessions enable pupils to experience cooking on the Victorian Yorkshire Range.

For more information, please see the School Session Leaflet.

School Loans Service

We also have an extensive collection of history and natural history items that we loan out to schools to support cross curricular teaching and hands on learning in the classroom.  The standard loan period is two weeks and we deliver and collect items from schools.  This service is free for Rotherham LEA schools.

For more information, please see the School Loan Service Catalogue.
