The Schools Programme is the cornerstone of the Education Department and all schools programmes based at the Gallery are free. There are a many sessions to choose from for all age groups, and we also tailor to individual requests.
Introduce your Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils to the inspiring world of paintings. Spark young children’s imaginations and curiosity with interactive sessions that introduce the visual language of the Old Masters and link to key learning goals in the classroom.
Open up a world of expression for primary students with our range of programmes that emphasise communication and creativity. Sessions use the collection and visual art as a starting point for exploration across a wide variety of subject areas.
Bring your Secondary group for an expert session in the Gallery or Art Studio. Working with professional artists and experienced teachers, students have an opportunity to deepen their understanding of visual art in a rigorous workshop tailored specifically to their needs.
Experience our permanent collection or current exhibition through an in-depth tour tailored specifically to your area of study.
