Our New Primary School Membership scheme
Engagement, LearningIt’s here: our new Primary School Membership scheme! Here’s everything you need to know about the three levels of membership.

Were you part of a club or group when you were young? Do you remember that sense of belonging? The sense of excitement when you did something or went somewhere? We want to foster that sense of community with our local primary schools in Leeds, and beyond.
We know cross-curricular object based arts and cultural learning raises classroom attainment in primary pupils. We know it makes them excited, engaged and ready to learn. It’s been proven!
We are committed to giving as many children as possible access to object learning whether that’s in the classroom or on visits to museums and galleries. We also recognise that teachers’ time is precious, and we want to make systems as streamlined as possible.

For years, teachers in the city have wanted a one-stop shop for cultural information and signposting. We have listened and are developing the Leeds Curriculum: a cohesive place-based cultural offer for our pupils. The Leeds Curriculum will provide a one-stop, online resource on MYLearning.org. There will be 50 stories about Leeds containing the facts (and myths) of the story, links to contemporary issues, hi-res images, films and suggested cross-curricular activities from all our cross-disciplinary cultural partners in the city.
The second key aspect to making arts and culture more accessible to pupils is a simple membership scheme, available for primary schools from September 2018. Membership will give schools access to object loans in the classroom, carefully curated from our collection of 1.3 million objects, as well as workshops at any of our nine museum a nd gallery sites and CPD packages.
There are three levels of membership:
Bronze: includes 6 loans boxes
Silver: includes 8 loans boxes, 3 workshops, 1 assembly and preview invites
Gold: includes 8 loans boxes, 4 workshops, 2 assemblies, preview invites and 6hrs teacher CPD
As a member, you will also be able to access additional loans boxes for a fee, giving you the flexibility to support your own classroom work through interactive object learning as much as you like.
All the levels have been developed in consultation with primary teachers in the city, and are based on the services we know people use, or would like to, across Leeds Museums and Galleries and the city.
