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 2003-2009 over 600 Primary ITE students
from Roehampton, Edge Hill, Nottingham Trent, Oxford
Brookes and Leeds Metropolitan 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, Nottingham
Castle Museum, and Leeds
Art Gallery have been built as a sustainable
part of the programme.
