“We worked with 33 ITT students from Brookes University who had spent one week training at the National Gallery before bringing their class to the Ashmolean to deliver a teaching session in front of their chosen painting. This meant that more than 500 children came to the museum, 4 schools had not been to the Museum before and 8 schools had not visited the Western Art Galleries”

London setting

“Organising such a complex trip in such a supportive and enthusiastic setting might encourage me to organise out of school learning in the future. I am still very enthusiastic about the placement. I have learnt about how the education service in the museums works, and how to organise a major outing. The experience for the children was of a much better quality than anything I could have put together outside the placement”
