Dear Gemmers For many, many years we have applied for (and been granted) Sandford Awards for our various museum sites. When we first began applying back in 1988, this was the only award applicable for Heritage Education. Now, of course, we can apply for a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge. Due to constantly diminishing resources(!) - I am seriously considering of only applying to one scheme. My dilemma is do I continue with the long established Sandford Awards or go for the new Quality Badge scheme? Would be interested to know if anyone else has had this type of discussion and if so, what solution did you come up with Thanks Joanne Joanne Catlow Museums & Galleries Education Manager Kirklees Museums & Galleries The Stables Ravensknowle Park Wakefield Road Huddersfield HD5 8DJ Tel: 01484 223802 Fax: 01484 223805 www.kirklees.gov.uk/museums
