Schools
Our programme
All of our workshops for schools are hands on and practical, interactive, and include exploration of the historic houses and their collections, as well as activity in the dedicated learning centre and outside in the garden. Our sessions are delivered by professional artists, creatives, museum educators and subject specialists. We also run special event and study days for schools, and CPD events for educators. Explore our library of learning resources including worksheets, audio and film.
Our Schools programmes are generously supported by the Banham Foundation.
The workshops fit in with our unit of learning perfectly. Our Art teacher is also looking forward to using the ideas she gained from Samira to develop a project on Islamic geometry and would like to make a display with the pieces created.
School visits take inspiration from the unique houses and collections, and are tailored to the needs and interests of each group. We can offer guided drawing, life drawing, music, storytelling, slow looking and mindfulness in the historic interiors. The learning centre supports painting, work with textiles, printing and pattern design. Outside in the garden, students can learn about flowers and plants, birds, insects and ecology. Picnics and a run around also welcome in the garden.
Thank you so, so much for welcoming our students to the museum today. They were beyond excited on their return, and said they had a wonderful time.
