Harewood House

For EYFS, we place an emphasis on Understanding the World (ELG: The Natural World) and Expressive Arts and Design (ELG: Creating with Materials).

Our History workshops are grounded in the historical site of Harewood. Sessions are designed around National Curriculum objectives and include behind-the-scenes tours and hands-on workshops with primary sources.

We are offering two new KS1 sessions which focus on comparing past and present and explore Harewood as a place of local significance.

• Homes Through Time >>
• Kings and Queens- Harewood a Royal Household >>

We have two popular KS2 sessions which explore and challenge the history of Harewood in accessible and engaging ways.

• Harewood at War! >>
• Harewood and the Transatlantic Slave Trade >>

Our Science workshops offer the opportunity to explore living things and biodiversity at our beautiful site.

We have well-established KS1 learning sessions and a brand-new session all about our farm animals.

• Mini-Beast Explorers >>
• Wild Wood! >>

This year, we are very excited to be taking part in The Wild Escape project. We have developed new KS2 focused sessions as part of this ground-breaking UK-wide project.

• Sustainability at Harewood >>

The Wild Escape is made possible by lead support from Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants, with additional support from Art Fund and a group of generous individuals and trusts.

Our Art & Design workshops explore the amazing collection of historic and contemporary art and sculpture and are led by a professional artist Beatrice Knowles.
