Learning on Site
Bradford District Museum and Galleries’ Learning Team are currently taking bookings for on-site learning opportunities.
- We offer a range of workshops across all Key Stages. Delivered by experts, and rooted in both our collections and national curricula, these are an opportunity for immersive, impactful and memorable learning. We consistently receive excellent feedback from teachers. Please note that schools which book for multiple visits across our sites may be eligible for a discount. If you’d like to enquire about this curriculum planning offer, please contact the learning team below.
- The Schools Team also work closely with SCITT providers to support Bradford’s future teachers. Our on site SCITT sessions cover everything from the logistics of out of school visits, to curriculum planning.
- Teachers are also welcome to embark on a self-led visit to one of our museums. Please still contact the Learning Team ahead of your visit. We’d like to support you with resources to help you make the most of our brilliant sites.
We would love to work with you to give your learners the opportunity to visit our sites. For further information or to book a workshop, please contact us via email: learning@bradford.gov.uk.
