Coventry gallery gets prestigious award

The gallery and museum received the Sandford Award from the Heritage Education Trust for superior quality in the delivery of heritage education.

The award has been granted in recognition of the excellence of their educational services and facilities and their exceptional contribution to Heritage Education.

Entrants for Sandford Awards are assessed by a panel of independent judges drawn from professional educationalists including OFSTED inspectors, former head teachers, education consultants and heritage property based education officers.

Alison Taylor, senior learning and inclusion officer, said “We are extremely proud to win this award. It is a tough quality mark to achieve and is only held by about 200 heritage venues across the country.”
