The Bones of Home Education and Museums
Engagement, LearningAt Leeds Museums & Galleries, there is a monthly workshop that home educating families can book onto, from Upstairs Downstairs at Lotherton to Thinking Art at Leeds Art Gallery. These are a mixture of workshops from our regular school programme and one-off workshops linked to exhibitions.
Through the workshops, relationships develop:

Objects and gallery spaces are powerful. Creating a relaxed, welcoming environment for learners where they can feel safe, confident and interested is the ambition.
“My son, due to very negative school experiences, dislikes classroom environments. But he chose to enter and participate as so inspired” – Parent of a 10 year old son and 9 year old daughter
“The staff were wonderful, the workshop was educational and fun, and Temple Newsam house was amazing”
Fun workshop at Temple Newsam.
And finally, here are some comments from the young people about how they felt:
“Intelligent as I have learnt a lot today” – 12 year old
And we do love honesty so we can improve for next time…
“A bit bored when people were talking but activities were fun” – 8 year old
