Audiences for Learning Programmes

The main audiences for learning programmes have been further subdivided into more specific groups. Inevitably there are crossovers between audience 'types'.

Schools / Colleges

School year groups are divided into Key Stages based on the National Curriculum:

• Key Stage One - Reception to Year 2 (Ages 4 to 7)
• Key Stage Two - Year 3 to Year 6 (Ages 7 to 11)
• Key Stage Three - Year 7 to Year 9 (Ages 11 to 14)
• Key Stage Four - Year 10 to Year 11 (Ages 14 to 16)
• Key Stage Five / Sixth Form College / Further Education (16+)
• Teachers
• Schools for children with Special Educational Needs

Adult Learners

Aside from these specific categories there are the walk-in visitors to heritage sites, museums and galleries.

• Older Adults
• Further Education / Higher Education
• Public Programme
• In Practice: Family History

A useful organisation to join if you are concentrating on adult learners is NIACE. NIACE (National Institute of Adult Continuing Education) exists to encourage more and different adults to engage in learning of all kinds.

• Local Groups / Networks
• Black Minority Ethnic (BME) communities
• Young People

Families

Families are divided into 'Day Trippers' and those attending specific events. Read more:

People with Disabilities

There are a large number of people in Britain registered as disabled. There is not enough space here to subdivide by each group
