Other services for teachers

We organise CPD events for teachers to accompany our special exhibitions as well as to explore our core collections either at our sites or in your school. We also host exclusive teacher preview evenings which give an opportunity to explore an exhibition and to develop creative ideas, along with a curator and a member of our learning team.
Upcoming teacher previews and CPD events:
Teacher CPD - suitable for all key stages
Free, hands-on Teacher CPD sessions - you are welcome to attend one or both.
