The programme engages Glasgow primary and secondary school pupils, as well as hosting a variety of workshops throughout the year.

If you are interested in collaborating or have any questions, please contact our Schools and Young People Coordinator - sam@cca-glasgow.com.

The programme is fully funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (Glasgow Communities and Place Fund).

Check out what we have been up to on the Schools and Young People Blog.

Primary Schools

Glasgow City Council primary schools can participate in a series of three creative workshops designed to develop pupils’ self-expression, collaboration and making skills. The programme will encourage the pupils to explore current social topics through the lens of art and making. Pupils will have the opportunity to experiment with new ways of making while considering provocations for our future. We also encourage primary schools to visit the CCA to further the learning.

We prioritise schools in close proximity to the CCA; however, we try our best to visit any interested schools. Please contact sam@cca-glasgow.com for our latest availability.

Secondary Schools

We want to give young people the opportunity to engage with contemporary art and issues while developing their confidence, critical analysis and collaboration skills.

Our offers have been designed specifically to align with the expectations of the Curriculum for Excellence, ensuring that your pupils have an enriching learning experience.

Visit CCA

This is an exciting opportunity for your pupils to engage first-hand with contemporary art and understand the processes and meanings behind the work. Taking inspiration from the exhibitions, your pupils can take part in a creative workshop, developing their critical thinking and making skills. All costs (including materials and up to £75 of public transport costs) are completely funded.

School trips are typically available Tuesdays and Wednesdays however, we can alter this if needed. We can facilitate up to 20 pupils at a time, and we encourage multiple bookings.

Art has the power to make connections with our current social and political landscape, therefore, we welcome bookings from all subjects, especially Art & Design, History and Modern Studies.

Our Information Pack has further information about our school trip offer.

We are currently fully booked for the Autumn/Winter 2025 term.

To be added to the waiting list, email sam@cca-glasgow.com.

CCA visits your schools

We understand that sometimes it is not always possible to take time out of the school timetable for a school trip. That’s why we created a selection of creative workshops that bring CCA’s vision and main curatorial themes straight to your classroom.

Please email sam@cca-glasgow.com for more information.
