APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED
Fixed fee of £16,800 over approx. 16 months
We are looking for a freelance Schools Manager to help build new relationships with local schools and manage co-production, marketing and roll-out of school learning sessions and resources.
Trent Park House, in Enfield, is recognised by Historic England as being of significance on a par with Bletchley Park. One of London's grandest houses, it was home to the 'Secret Listeners' during World War II - a story that has remained hidden in the house for over 70 years. In the lead up to the War, Trent Park was home to Sir Philip Sassoon, a central figure of both British inter-war politics and the anti-Nazi movement who entertained many high profile guests including King George V, Sir Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin and TE Lawrence. The House is currently being restored and will open as a new heritage attraction which will immerse visitors – including school groups – in these extraordinary histories.
You will identify and work with four local schools to co-develop and pilot 2 or 3 free curriculum linked history workshops for KS 2&3. These will explore and test how best to present the stories of wartime Trent Park before rolling out to at least 25 further schools. This is an important role within the Digital Museum project, funded by a grant from the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
You must have at least 3 years’ experience of designing, marketing and delivering provision for schools in a cultural setting, ideally at KS2-3, including co-production with schools, onsite and online delivery, and online materials/resources. An understanding of the National Curriculum and knowledge of best practice approaches in schools learning and engagement through heritage, including diversity and inclusion agendas is also required. You will be able to work both remotely and in Enfield and the surrounding area.
