Planning Sessions for Teachers on Self-guided Visits
Planning sessions will be held on the first Tuesday of each month between 3.30 and 4.45pm giving teachers an opportunity to plan with a member of our Learning Team.   These are designed for teachers bringing self-guided groups of up to 60 pupils.  We ask that all self-guided groups book their slot on the galleries to prevent overcrowding.  Book your group and your place on training by telephoning our Bookings Coordinator on 0161 275 2630.
