We support your curriculum with learning programmes and resources that are underpinned by:
- Promoting diversity
- Supporting health and wellbeing
- Raising awareness of the environment
- Providing access to art and heritage
Each term we will celebrate one of these themes and publish resources to help you do the same.
Our learning resources have been adapted from sessions that we usually deliver onsite at Chatsworth, Bolton Abbey or Lismore Castle, for you to use in your classroom, or at home.
Our resources are organised around the age of your pupils, and refer to key stages and curriculum links. You will find a number or resources that will encourage pupils to learn a little about Chatsworth while developing knowledge and skills in Art, Science, History, English, Geography, PSHE topics and outdoor learning.
Sometimes we are guided towards thinking about and looking at things in certain ways. This can manipulate our opinions. Artists often use techniques to focus the eye and trick the mind. When we are guided to see things in certain ways, we think about them differently. Being able to recognise those tricks and techniques gives us control over what we see and allows us to form our own opinions about design, adverts and artworks.
Here you will find several diversity resources designed for use in the classroom to prompt debate and activities celebrating diversity and linking to various areas of the curriculum.
STEAM learning destinations
Our programme of arts engagement and outdoor learning supports the integration of the arts and creativity into STEM based learning. STEM + Art = STEAM
All learning sessions are curriculum linked and hands-on, meeting a broad range of needs and learning styles. Arts engagement sessions are designed to enhance visual literacy and develop technical and creative skills, while outdoor learning sessions include a range of multisensory activities designed to develop environmental literacy.
