Our schools programme - Update for Autumn 2020

Due to the impact of Covid-19 we understand that many schools may not be able to make on site visits for self guided learning or workshops in the Autumn.

Virtual visits for Primary Schools (KS1/KS2) 'Live from Toad Lane' sessions will be available from September 2020 as an alternative to making a visit in person. 

Please download the information about a live virtual session and costs here.

For Secondary School and Higher Education (KS3/KS4)

We can offer digital visits by arrangement as well as visits on site, and offer An introduction to Co-operation about the history of the movement and its impact on working class lives in the 19th and 20th Centuries.

We also offer a session about Co-operative Citizenship looking at the way co-op values and principles are rooted in the concept of democracy and being an active citizen. This session focuses on politics, debate and activism in a group context.

If your school is in Rochdale : Our organisation supports the Historic England 'Heritage Schools' programme which helps school pupils explore the history of the places they live.
