Our learning programme is based on the tradition of creativity at Stowe House and we use this to provide an inspirational learning experience. We closely connect our workshops to the National Curriculum but whatever the focus, the content is cross-curricular and includes at least one core subject. Our sessions are designed to be fun, hands-on and active, with opportunities to be in role, dress up, tell stories and make something creative. All of our workshops have been developed in consultation with local schools and are delivered by a dynamic and highly experienced team. The learning team includes a mixture of permanent staff and volunteers – all of us hold enhanced DBS clearance and attend regular training.
