London Learning at Home

The London Curriculum has reached out across the city to bring together free learning and cultural offers that children can access from home.

We want to support families, teachers and nurseries during this challenging time and ensure that young Londoners still feel connected to the incredible people, places and culture of their city. We have focussed on London-specific offers, which add to the national list of online education resources published by the Department for Education.

If you are an organisation that is London based or with London specific resources, please get in touch: [email protected]

You can search by age range, subject, key stage and organisation to find what you need. We know this can be a busy time, so we also asked organisations to estimate the level of adult supervision required:

•    Low: child-led activity.
•    Medium: some adult input needed.
•    High: adult-led activity.

Many of the organisations listed have a wealth of educational expertise, but as with any provision, it is at your discretion to decide whether a resource is suitable for your children/class.

We've also created a map of adult education providers in London.

  • London History Day 2020

    Description
    We know it is a very difficult time for families and children across London, so we've developed a London Heroes Family Guide in collaboration with Historic England and Museum of London.
    Use the guide to tell the inspiring stories of Londoners who have triumphed in challenging circumstances and gone out of their way to help others. It's also filled with fun activities that you can do easily and safely from home, like dressing up!

  • London Playwire Weekly

    Description
    Schools and most adventure playgrounds are closed, and children are largely isolated in their households. This is the new 'normal'. But play must not stop - in fact it has perhaps never been more important to help children cope with this strange new reality. Our new weekly bulletin - coming to you each Tuesday - aims to help anyone with children in their lives navigate the uncharted waters ahead with tips, fun ideas and news.
