Talking Statues: Free Teacher's CPD Event

Join us for a day of creative and heritage focused professional development for teachers, and an opportunity for your school to gain Heritage School status!

We are delighted to invite teachers and trainee teachers from your school to a free CPD event to explore ways of using local heritage across the curriculum, as well as taking part in museum relevant activities and exploring the Talking Statues trail in Norwich. Learn how you can embed a visit to the free exhibition into your lessons.

There will be an opportunity to talk about arts and cultural work in school, Arts Award Discover delivery, and find out more about Artsmark. A group of skilled and knowledgeable Heritage and Arts partners from across Norfolk (Historic England, Talking Statues Norwich, Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Norwich Records Office and Norfolk Museums Service) are coming together to offer teachers in Norfolk this unique and exciting opportunity.

The session will be an opportunity to gain free resources and practical hands-on  experience of looking at historical artefacts, how to embed the Talking Statues in Norwich into your curriculum and the chance to find out more about the partners and their work with schools in the city.

Free lunch will be provided and plenty of tea and coffee.

This programme is fully funded by the DofE so becoming a Heritage School allows you to access a range of FREE CPD options a well as bespoke resources and support –  again all free of charge. We offer a contribution towards cover costs for one teacher from each school attending the full or half day.
