The Palace House Literacy Project will fulfil our commitment to work with local schools to improve literacy skills using our collections as a stimulus and focus. This project will form the basis of a replicable resource which can be used by many schools when visiting and will provide a legacy in the form of an easily accessible online resource for teachers. 

The project will be developed with our partner school, All Saints CEVA Primary School, and will support the enrichment and understanding of vocabulary which will ultimately develop writing and understanding of text. This is of particular importance due to the large number of students for whom English is an additional language, many of whom have functional literacy but have less understanding of subtleties and nuances. It will involve working with Year 3 & 4 classes (7-9 year olds).

An event of sharing will take place at the end of this project which will not only celebrate the achievements of the students but will also highlight the value of working with Heritage Centre collections
