Art Fund Teacher Fellowships
Application deadline: Friday 18 October 2024, 5pm
With support from Clore Duffield Foundation, Art Fund Teacher Fellowships offers grants designed to build and strengthen engagement between state secondary schools and museums across the UK.
Through fully funded secondments, the Teacher Fellowships programme will give secondary school teachers the opportunity to work part-time within a museum with a Clore Learning Space, supporting the museum to develop their learning offer, increase engagement with schools in their area, and enrich curriculum-learning in school.
We are seeking host museums that are passionate about developing their learning offer and increasing their engagement with schools. Museums will be asked to demonstrate how the Fellowship will enable them to undertake a step change in their learning provision and build their engagement with schools and young people.
Support from Clore Duffield Foundation will fund two Teacher Fellowships each year. This year we will offer two grants of up to £61,750 to museums who wish to take part in the programme over the following 2025/26 academic year.
