How we work with schools
We are working in partnership with some of our local primary schools.
In 2022 we will offer a variety of one-off sessions for visiting schools.

Our associate schools programme
We are working with partner schools in Hackney and Tower Hamlets including
-
Sebright Primary School
-
Queensbridge Primary School
-
St Paul's with St Michael's Primary School
Over the next three years we are exploring creative learning ideas with the children. We are following their progress from Year 4 through to Year 6.
2021-22 Creative Project
This year the children are in Year 5 and will be working with the Museum and their teachers to define their next creative project. Watch this space for more information about their ideas.
2020-21: Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland is our first creative project with our partner schools, for the academic year 2020-2021.
The children have been considering their hopes for Hackney in the future.

Impacts of the project
For children we hope they will...
- feel the Museum is a welcoming place
- visit outside of school hours
- know the Museum is an interesting resource in their local community
- understand more about the concept of home in different times and places and how to connect their own experiences of home to those of others
- investigate the broader concept of home to include their local area and community
- explore new study skills that enhance their curriculum
- work with professional artists to produce creative work that expresses their ideas about home
- present their work as part of the Museum's public programme and give voice to their perspectives
- feel recognised and valued in their community
For the Museum, we want to learn more about children as co-creators and a valuable partners.
Our sessions for schools
In 2022 we will work with local schools to develop and pilot new sessions. We will then offer a range of curriculum-linked sessions for schools at the Museum.
