Beyond the School: A valuable teaching resource.
Beyond the School allows your students and teachers to work together to build valuable teaching resources from a collaborative study of aspects of local heritage.These resources can then be utilised across a variety of school curriculum areas.
Beyond the School: A resource for the whole community.
Beyond the School aims to encourage the active participation of students, teachers and other members of the local community including community groups and people from different social and cultural backgrounds. It is an effective way of engaging people of different generations in a joint activity with shared outcomes.
Curriculum connections
Schools, Colleges and other community groups can use the Beyond the School project to develop a range of cross curricular skills and competencies. This project corresponds significantly with many aspects of the Key Skills Programme- the skills which are most commonly needed to succeed in a range of activities – at work, in education and training and in everyday life.
Project Inspiration
The project is a continuation of similar projects that have been running in several European Union countries . These projects have been very positively received by the public. The main tasks involved in the Beyond the School project can be carried out by schools, teachers and other professionals but most importantly by the students themselves.
Joining the Beyond the School Project
The Beyond the School Project can be financed through the Heritage Lottery Fund Young Roots Programme. This is a scheme eligible for organisations working in partnership with young people who are 13-20 years old (up to 25 for those with special needs). It encourages them to find out about their heritage, develop skills and enhance their community involvement.
