Praise for PHMe from English Heritage

Date: Friday 13th Jul 12

“Implementing a creative curriculum requires teachers to think outside the box, and look at new and different ways of teaching to really engage students of all ages, and this is where organisations like English Heritage can help,” explains education manager for the Midlands, David Sheldon. “Our sites are free to enter for education groups, so we want educators to think of them as extensions of their classroom – making regular use of the sites on their doorstep for just about any learning goal.”

David cites examples of creative writing that were inspired by a visit to Witley Court & Gardens, near Worcester, “Bob Woodall who runs and moderates PublishingHouseMe, a national website ‘for young peoples’ creative work’ flagged up a story that had won the ‘submission of the month’ following a visit to Witley Court. The submission by ten year old Harriet beautifully described her visit, you can feel her sparking off the experience– the history of the property provided a scaffold for her writing, and it proves how given the opportunity wonderful creative and very individual responses can be gained through engaging with our shared heritage.”
