Schools programme

An innovative new schools programme is being developed by Kirklees Museums and Galleries throughout 2024-25, offering high-quality and curriculum-focused learning opportunities for Early Years to Key Stage 5.

Our schools programme will:

• Introduce all pupils in Kirklees to a broad, local-based, cultural curriculum, from Early Years to Post-16.
• Deliver enquiry-based learning to support the development of disciplinary knowledge, emphasising the value of learning by doing.
• Explore national narratives through a local lense: exploring the stories of people, places and things.
• Provide opportunities to raise literacy standards, through oracy and reading for pleasure.
• Promote British values, using heritage and culture to explore democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and tolerance.
