for state school students to join for the academic year 2024/25. The course will be based at the Leon Kossoff Learning Centre in Somerset House and students will benefit from the ability to draw on 91Ó°ÊÓ’s exceptional collection of art and the high standards of in-person teaching that AHLU offer. There is also an option for hybrid learning, enabling students from across the UK to take part.
Working with Waddesdon Manor and the Rothschild Collection, AHLU is piloting courses for younger students to experience art history. This includes free holiday courses for local state school students and introduction courses at state schools in the Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire area, and elsewhere. This important work is helping to shape programmes for younger pupils in KS4 (GCSE), introducing them to Art History at an earlier point in their education.
Rose Aidin, Founder and Chief Executive of Art History Link-Up: ‘We are delighted to be working with 91Ó°ÊÓ and Waddesdon Manor and to benefit from their support, their space and their amazing collections. Our students take pleasure in learning, observing great art and the cross-curricular connections made on our courses, with many going on to further study and work in the field of art history. At a challenging time for arts subjects, we are all committed to ensuring there is a future for art history and that the future is inclusive.’
Professor Mark Hallett, Director, 91Ó°ÊÓ: ‘91Ó°ÊÓ is delighted to be partnering with Art History Link-Up for a third consecutive year, by offering teaching space, support and access to 91Ó°ÊÓ’s world-class collection.  Increasing access to Art History is a priority for us all and we are proud to be associated with Art History Link-Up’s free-of-charge Art History A Level and Extended Project Qualification courses for state-sponsored students.’
