Learning Day: 27th November 2019
On 27th November, children in KS2 and KS3 get involved in exploring their local, regional and national heritage. We offer a range of 45 minute workshops for groups of 15-20 children, bringing them closer to significant people and places from our shared heritage. Sessions include the Brontë Parsonage museum, who help us understand the extraordinary Brontë family, Milton Manga, and Newstead Abbey. Each session is interactive, enabling children and young people to respond creatively.
