Lots of very good ideas emerging! In our consultancy work with clients, we have also had found interest from secondary schools in working with heritage organisations on the work related learning parts of the curriculum, for example Museums contributing to careers evenings in school, providing work experience for students, contributing to schools’ volunteering programmes.
Best wishes

Subject: Secondary Schools
Hey GEM Folk!
I was wondering what your experience is of engaging secondary schools? I mean, we all know they're notoriously difficult to draw in, but what's the reality? I've looked around a number of Museum websites, and they do mostly seem to have an offer for secondary schools, yet I am wondering whether there is much take up of these sessions?
I am asking because I am writing some secondary sessions for Brixton Windmill, and want to be realistic about the consequent level of engagement the Windmill will receive from secondary schools (having found it very difficult to engage anyone at the research stage!).
Thanks!
Megan
