Learning

To enable social distancing and help protect our visitors and colleagues, we've implemented new safety measures across the estate. As a Learning Outside the Classroom accredited site, we have also completed a Kaddi risk assessment.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON ARRIVAL

A STEAM learning destination

Our programme of arts engagement and outdoor learning is focused on treasures from the collection and the built and natural environment allowing for the integration of the arts and creativity into STEM based learning. STEM + Art = STEAM

All learning sessions are curriculum linked and hands-on, meeting a broad range of needs and learning styles. Arts engagement sessions are designed to enhance visual literacy and develop technical and creative skills, while outdoor learning sessions include a range of multisensory activities designed to develop environmental literacy.

Our committment to our shared future

Enable every child in local schools to experience our estates as part of their primary education, reaching every school through physical visits onsite or our virtual presence in schools.
