Bexley Heritage Trust

Introduction to the Education Service


Programme for schools:

Our schools programme is run by the Bexley Heritage Trust team, based at Hall Place and holders of the Sandford Award for Excellence in Heritage Education.

The education team, who teach nearly 8,000 children a year, offer a wide variety of National Curriculum taught sessions for schools including topics such as the Tudors, Victorians, World War II, literacy, drama and art.  These sessions are based at Hall Place, where there will be a new purpose built education suite opening in September 2008.

Danson’s period in history (Georgian/ 18th century) is currently not studied under the National Curriculum and therefore educational visits to Danson are tailored to secondary school and further education groups with an interest in architecture, construction or restoration.

If you have any specific requirements please contact the education team, who will be pleased to discuss your requirements.  Email education@dansonhouse.org.uk or telephone them at Hall Place on 01322 526574

Other educational opportunities at Danson:

There are many educational activities at Danson throughout the year, in addition to outreach talks to groups and societies and a loans box service.
