Museum Learning at TLA
The Langley Academy opened in 2008 as the first Museum Learning School in the UK. On entering you walk straight into an exhibition space with stunning atrium installations.
Students enjoy exhibitions from our museum partners and curate their own, so that every term brings something fresh to the academy. They experience our creative museum learning ethos across the curriculum as you can see from our map.
Students:
- Test their fitness at the World Rugby Museum for PE
- Drink Horlicks in Business to learn about global branding
- Create a water filter in History to combat cholera
Museum Learning gives students opportunities not possible elsewhere. Our work with charities such as Oxfam and Lessons From Auschwitz gives students the moral foundations to be bold about the future. With partnerships at Oxford University, Reading University, the LSE and beyond we create bespoke projects that give them wings to fly.
Museum learning is a creative approach to study and enrichment, the start of a life long love of learning.
You can see our vision for Museum Learning and read more about it HERE.

You can view our exhibitions in person at The Langley Academy. Tours are available to limited numbers only, Fridays from 2:30 – 3:30. All tours must be booked at least 1 week in advance. Please contact us at museumlearning@arbibeducationtrust.org for information.

How important is #imagination? How has #technology changed the way we #play? We have explored these questions and more in our Play Together exhibition.

@MuseumLearningtlaprimary (@tlaprimary)What story would you tell if you held a Moroccan Tbilat drum or an Ostrich egg? 🥁🥚 At our museum, we asked children to explore objects like these and let their imaginations run wild! 'Tell Me a Story' sparks creativity, helping them learn through touch, sound, and rich language— https://x.com/tlaprimary/status/1844001520859431175Oct 9, 2024

How can we prove dinosaurs existed? From exploring fossils at The Natural History Museum to getting hands-on as paleontologists, we dug deep into the world of prehistoric creatures. We also uncovered the legacy of Mary Anning and her groundbreaking finds. @LangleyHeritageFeb 5, 2024
