Schools Programme
Our schools programmes are designed to bring heritage to life for pupils and enable them to engage in active exploration of the world around them. Our primary school active learning sessions have been planned to meet the needs of the curriculum. Many cross-curricular skills in Communication and Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities are enhanced with a museum learning visit!
We're also linked to:
· Language and Literacy
· the World Around Us
· Personal Development and Mutual Understanding
· the Arts.
Our programmes provide learning experiences that are:
· investigatory and problem-solving
· active and hands-on
· challenging and engaging
· cross-curricular
· enquiry-based
· relevant, enjoyable and varied.
