The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is now officially recognised as a learning destination in the Children’s University scheme, with children able to claim 2 hours of learning for each visit they make. Children’s University is a charitable organisation which works with schools in order to build a passion for learning outside of the classroom. This is achieved by encouraging participation in extra-curricular activities both inside and outside of school.
