Schools

In our museums across the Tees Valley we bring curriculum learning to life. Using our amazing art, historic collections and buildings we help students explore their own locality and the stories of people who have lived here. A museum visit is all about authentic, immersive experiences that deepen understanding, spark creativity and motivate students to learn.

We offer award-winning programmes for all Key Stages from EYFS to Key Stage 4. We can also help you plan your visit to make it relevant to what you’re doing in school. As part of a broad and balanced curriculum a museum visit can be a fantastic boost at the start of a topic, a great way to deepen learning part way through or an exciting way to validate, celebrate and cement learning at the end.

Tees Valley Museums works closely with Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum and Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA). Please visit their websites to find out more about their programmes for schools.
