Primary School Steer Network

Oldham Library and Gallery Oldham’s Primary School Steer Network was setup so that we can work in more closely with local teachers and educators to inspire reading and creativity together. We want to build a schools offer that is relevant and accessible to teachers and their classes.

The network meets three times a year – once a term, with a light agenda and cake. One of these meetings will be a free CPD arts workshop, that is chosen by the network with guidance from our in-house creative specialists.

From library class visits to exhibitions curated by classes we want hear the views of teachers. Our aim is to champion and grow the work that we do enabling us to reach more children and families.

In return we can offer:

First refusal to performances/creative works in development

Connect teachers with local authors

Author visits (ad-hoc)

A friendly space to talk with like minded educators

Free CPD

Pilot class visits

CPD and development opportunities
