A fantastic morning spent with trainee teachers and staff at our Access Artefacts INSET session! 📚✨

They explored how artefacts can help bring the curriculum to life, creating hands-on opportunities for learning and discussion across all subjects. From handling historical objects to exploring our archives behind the scenes, it was wonderful to see so much curiosity and creativity in action.

We loved sharing ideas, stories, and a few unexpected artefacts along the way… including trying on some historical headwear! 🛡️

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We cannot wait to see how these artefacts inspire learning in the classroom.
