anticipated ultimately 15• Yr 1 students needed a little more support

initially.

“Previously I would not think that museums could link into teaching; but by attending placements it has opened my eyes as to how museums are structured and how this can be linked to a variety of learning areas”

“It has opened my eyes to the potential for learning at all levels in a museum.”

Is there anything you would change?

“I’d have preferred the opportunity to do a week long placement”

“The days could have been closer so we did not have to wait so long to return”

“Go in the springtime rather than the winter!”

What advice would you give next years trainees?

“Forget your memories of maybe, boring, cold

school trips! Keep an open mind and you will be surprised at the wide range of fun and

effective learning opportunities!”

• Far greater understanding of the possibilities by both sides.

• Rich resources to be placed on the museum websites to support schools and settings in their planning.

• Greater confidence in creative planning

• Museum venues embedded into our programmes: PGCE Cross Curricular Week and across the BA

• Museum colleagues to continue input into programmes• Students remaining in contact with venues• Sustaining relationships with the University e.g. Ford and Etal
