Information For Teachers
Roman Key Stage 2 Inset
INSETs run from 4.30pm to 5.45 or 6.00pm depending on the topic. At an INSET you can see and handle the objects before bringing a class to Tullie House. We run through a lesson plan, try out the practical exercises and demonstrate how to handle the objects safely. We will also look at ideas for work in the classroom. INSETS take place at Tullie House except for Tudor Medieval which takes place at the Guildhall Museum.
Attending an INSET allows teachers to bring their class to the Museum and run one of the sessions themselves. [sessions led by one of our staff cost £50 per session].
Over the next two years we are revamping the in-house sessions. This will have an effect on the INSETs. KS1 INSETs will not run in the Spring Term 2009, but will be relaunched with new INSETs in the Summer Term - see dates below. Please contact us if you have any queries re KS1 INSETs.

Tullie House Educational Loans service
We have a comprehensive Loan Service available now, covering most of the subjects that you can study at Tullie House. Loans come in sturdy boxes and are carefully packed to preserve the objects during transport.
Inside the boxes you will find a selection of objects and notes. Some contain worksheets and other resources to support classroom use.
Loans can be borrowed for half a term. You are responsible for collecting and returning the box. Boxes not collected in the first two weeks of the half term may be reallocated. Some loans are very popular, so please book in advance to avoid disappointment. We accept bookings for the current and following term.
