Cathedral Education Department chalks up its tenth anniversary!
It’s party time at Manchester Cathedral on 29 February as we celebrate 10 years of formal education work at Manchester Cathedral. The department was set up in 2002 in response to a number of requests from Manchester schools for educational visits to the Cathedral. Since that time, the cathedral has welcomed over 35000 school pupils through its doors to participate in trails, workshops and special events.
The Education Team works with school groups of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, using the Cathedral space as a unique learning space, where pupils can draw on the Cathedral as an educational resource to develop their understanding across a wide range of curriculum areas – for example art, religious education, history, music, maths and geography. The emphasis is on enjoyment, with hands-on, interactive learning experiences.
