Educational Workshops

We offer the following standard workshops throughout the academic year:

We can also be flexible to the needs of your school and subject areas, creating bespoke workshops, for example to support specific areas identified in your School Development Plans.

We also work in partnership with the city’s Cultural Education Partnership, The City Classroom, to help connect schools with cultural offers and opportunities. https://www.cityclassroom.org/
