One-week Cultural Placements were first piloted by the National
Gallery and Roehampton University during the academic
year 2003/4. This partnership was set up in response
to recommendations from the DCSF (Department for
Children, Schools and Families) encouraging ITE
(Initial Teacher Education) students, to gain teaching
experience 'in settings other than schools', in
addition to their school practice.
A need for enhancing opportunities
for creative curriculum planning in teaching training
courses was also identified by delegates at the
Gallery's Annual Headteachers' Conference in 2003.
Between 2003 - 2008 over 300 Primary ITE students from Roehampton, Edgehill, Nottingham Trent and Oxford Brookes
Universities have undertaken a one-week placement at the
National Gallery, followed by partnership sessions at their regional galleries.
These placements are made possible through Strategic
Commissioning DCMS/DCSF funding. Local partnerships
with The Ashmolean,
Oxford, The Walker Gallery, Liverpool and Nottingham
Castle Museum have been built as a sustainable part of
the programme.
