About Tate Schools and Teachers Team:

The Schools and Teachers team believe that all young people should see themselves reflected in everything they encounter, both at Tate and in their classrooms. Working with teachers to best support young people to thrive, we celebrate difference and take a proactive, anti-discriminatory stance in all that we do.
