A Norfolk museum is top of the class after being given an award for its education work.

Swaffham Museum has been presented with a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom.

Sian Hogarth, the museum's learning and access officer, said: 'Being awarded the Quality Badge is a real coup for all of us here as it shows that we offer young people the type of high quality learning experiences they really benefit from.

'We're thrilled to get official recognition for our efforts and we look forward to welcoming even more children and young people from the local area to our museum to enjoy our range of schools and family learning opportunities on offer here.'

The Quality Badge has been designed to make it easier for teachers to identify organisations that offer high quality educational visits.
