Join us at The Amelia for our monthly learning sessions open to home educated children across the borough.
Our learning sessions are linked to the Amelia's collections, are based on enquiry-led learning and are rooted in the National Curriculum. Sessions provide unique opportunities for object-handling and inspiring activities to guide children and their families as they explore our galleries.
Standard sessions last 60 minutes. Booking is essential. Please note, children must be accompanied by their parent/carers and remain their responsibility at all times.
We aim to provide a fully inclusive service for all our young visitors. Please let us know if there are any SPLD/ or accessibility needs we should be aware of so that we can help support all participants to engage with the session.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more before booking, please email us at learningattheamelia@tunbridgewells.gov.uk.
