Bridging the gap between supplementary schools and the British Museum's global collection
In short: Discover how the British Museum collaborates with the UK's 5,000 supplementary schools. This video highlights how these institutions, which support minority ethnic communities, utilize the museum's vast cultural history to enrich learning in core subjects and cultural education.
Supplementary schools in the UK serve as vital educational hubs for minority ethnic communities, focusing on core subjects like Maths, English, and Science alongside mother-tongue and cultural instruction. With approximately 5,000 such schools operating across the country, there is a significant opportunity to leverage their diverse student base.
The British Museum offers a unique resource for these schools, as its collection encompasses the history of cultures worldwide. By engaging directly with teachers and young people, the museum aims to foster a deeper connection to these global collections, providing students with meaningful opportunities to explore history and culture beyond the standard classroom curriculum.
