Creative Professional Development Sessions
Our professional learning programmes provide opportunities for teachers of all year levels to engage with art, connect with colleagues, generate cross-curriculum links and develop practical ideas and strategies to enhance their teaching and learning.
We run up to three Teachers CPD sessions per year, which include artist-led workshops and exclusive access to our temporary exhibitions or the Kettle’s Yard house.

Looking to generate creative ideas and inspire teaching and learning practice with your colleagues at school or within your Academy Trust?
