Cultural placements
Available to trainee primary teachers based in London and across the regions
These five-day cultural placements are offered in partnership with higher education providers, or school-based training providers.
Participants either spend five days at the National Gallery or split their time between the National Gallery and a regional partner gallery.
The placement gives participants the opportunity to:
- Expand on ideas introduced in our tailored single sessions and relate them more closely to their own teaching experience
- Observe taught gallery sessions
- Deliver their own gallery session and plan their own unit of work.
Cost: Free
Time: 5 days
