School workshops

Following the Government’s most recent advice regarding the coronavirus pandemic, Charnwood Museum will remain closed.

Our primary concern is the health and wellbeing of everyone who lives and works in Charnwood, and everyone who visits.

We apologise for any inconvenience and will keep you updated here and our social media channels.

For the latest information about Council services please visit www.charnwood.gov.uk/coronavirus.

We are currently unable to host school visits and workshops at Charnwood Museum due to the COVID-19 crisis. We are busy developing our education offer and will post updates on this page.

In the meantime, please contact the museum to discuss your needs by telephone or email at 01509 233754 and museum@charnwood.gov.uk.

Past school workshops can be found below:

• Dinosaur Detectives (Foundation/KS1)

Calling all teachers!

Please could you spare approximately 10 minutes to help inform the development of Leicestershire County Council Museums' learning services? All schools from all counties, who complete the questionnaire, will be entered into a draw. Those selected will receive a 10% discount on a school visit to Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre for anytime during 2021 (all bookings to be processed by the end of March 2021).

Complete the questionnaire

All responses are useful, from both users and non-users of the Museum Service. We are keen to consider as many views as possible so please share this questionnaire widely with colleagues in your school and in other schools. Information submitted in this questionnaire will contribute towards the evaluation of Leicestershire County Council Museums' learning services.

Data will only be shared with Kate Travers' Associates, Leicestershire County Council Museum and Heritage Team and the funder may want to see the final report. This work has been commissioned by Leicestershire County Council with funding from Arts Council England.

Please contact trkatvers@gmail.com if you have any questions about this form and we will be very grateful if you could please complete by January 10, 2021.
