The Glucksman Schools Programme has been developed to support the National Curriculum, providing curricular-based workshops for primary and post-primary groups. These workshops will enhance the gallery experience for younger visitors by offering an innovative approach to art education through interactive discussions and hands-on activities.

As well as providing a dynamic schools programme, the Lewis Glucksman Gallery will work directly with teachers to introduce the gallery as a resource environment and provide professional development opportunities that will enhance the quality of teaching of the visual arts.
