Home Education

Our Home Education provision aims to deliver a once-a-month session for the Home Education community. The sessions are themed around the school curriculum, looking at subjects such as literacy, history, art and science. All sessions will be practical and child- led with support for those that need it. All sessions can be adapted to suit the needs of the child and we welcome all primary aged children to attend. Children over the age of 11 are also welcome as all our activities can be adapted to older children.

The sessions will take place in the Royal Pump Rooms and depending on numbers and session requirements may be held in the Craft Studio, Art Gallery or one of our other beautiful rooms. We will always aim to have a quiet space for children that may require time out and we have a range of equipment available for children with additional needs that may require headphones, calming toys and so on through the use of our explorer bags.
