The Heritage Education Service (HES) is based at Carisbrooke Castle Museum. The HES is funded by the Isle of Wight Council and is part of the Isle of Wight Heritage Service, in partnership with the Trustees of Carisbrooke Castle Museum.
The Service can help schools and teachers by:
- supporting educational visits to Carisbrooke Castle Museum and the Castle (Island educational groups only), Newport Roman Villa and Cowes Maritime Museum
- working with you and your class in your school
- providing information and advice
