About Heritage in Schools


The Heritage Council’s Heritage in Schools Scheme provides a panel of Heritage Specialists who visit primary schools to help children and their teachers learn about and appreciate their local heritage. Visits are part-funded with reduced rates for DEIS schools. The Scheme supports the stated aims and objectives of the Social, Scientific and Environmental Education (SESE) curriculum and provides an additional educational tool and resource for teachers.

The aims of the Scheme are:


To generate greater awareness, respect, interest and appreciation of our heritage among primary school children (4-12 year olds) by encouraging both teachers and pupils to engage with their local heritage in a hands-on, interactive and meaningful way, through place-based learning.

To encourage learning in the outdoor classroom to address the increasing decline in time spent outdoors by Irish children.
