School workshops at Tameside Museums and Galleries
Our learning programme has been developed with local professional creatives and shaped by feedback from teachers. We utilise the talents of our local artists and performers, plus those of our skilled staff, to deliver workshops that will engage and inspire children. Enjoy learning with inspiring stories, memory-making objects and beautiful spaces. Develop skills, enrich your curriculum, support wellbeing and connect with local places and people.

Online educational resources for schools and groups
We’ve created online content to engage pupils with our collections within museums, galleries and local studies and archives. Resources available include short films, lesson plans and activities with examples of objects and photographs from our collections, linked to both the National Curriculum and your school’s needs.
Below you will find online resources linked to ‘Toys’, ‘Victorian Children at Work’ and ‘Conflict and Consequences’.
We hope you find them useful and enjoy exploring these themes with your class. We are always happy to discuss any of your ideas and to help support your class’s learning, so please do contact us.
