At Boston Manor House, our Learning team believe it is our responsibility to aim to:
- Promote creative ideas and innovative thinking and expression among all learners and visitors
- Connect people through community engagement, collaborative interaction and first-hand experiences
- Always support people to feel safe, respected and welcome when they learn with our sites
- Be accessible
- Be honest in content and the way we work
- Ensure our learning programmes are site-specific and generate a sense of place
- Have high quality, well-managed and financially sustainable Learning programmes that reflect the needs of our audiences
- Endeavour to work in an ecologically sustainable way
- Inspire people with the life and works of the residents and the stories our sites tell
We believe our programmes should inspire and motivate ongoing learning, engagement, and volunteering beyond the visit, fostering lifelong learners who feel confident and eager to access heritage and culture.
We are committed to continuous, thoughtful evaluation that includes dialogue with participants and partners, helping us focus on ongoing improvement.
We aim to share the knowledge gained through engagement and partnership work to benefit all programmes, staff, participants, and the wider sector. As vocal advocates for effective, inclusive, innovative, and high-quality practices, we strive to make a positive impact.
We constantly seek ways to incorporate more voices into the House’s interpretation, empowering individuals to choose and shape how they engage with Boston Manor House and our sister site, Hogarth’s House.
Working closely with partners in our local boroughs of Hounslow and Ealing, we ensure our programmes meet the needs of the surrounding communities. Schools, adults, families, and community groups can book onto our programmes or participate in partnership projects.
