About Lighthouse Poole

Lighthouse is a centre for creative careers education, a Dorset Cornerstone employer representing the creative industries and has a Creative Engagement team who deliver a range of workshops, tours and other engagement activities throughout the academic year.

Free teaching resources accompany many shows, allowing educators to create deeper links between visits to the cultural venue and the school curriculum.

There is a pre-existing risk assessment available for use by any school who needs it.
At the heart of its community and locally loved, Lighthouse is a dynamic, vibrant multi arts venue in Dorset. It is a place where people feel inspired, entertained and welcomed – and every generation is supported and empowered to explore their own potential.
The venue provides an exciting year-round programme of nationally acclaimed, high quality and diverse arts and entertainment, providing wonderful opportunities to bring learning to life, engage with new ideas and stories, and develop confidence, creativity, empathy and curiosity.
For schools, Lighthouse’s Creative Engagement team are on hand to help facilitate enriching cultural experiences for students and are always happy to explore workshop opportunities.
The venue’s Partner School scheme provides opportunities for young people, their teachers and their parents to engage with activities including backstage tours, residencies, masterclasses and workshops, work experience, and internships.

“For teachers, Lighthouse is an invaluable partner. The professional development sessions you provide equip educators with innovative tools and techniques to bring creativity into the classroom. I particularly enjoyed the training day at Lighthouse during Discover! Creative Careers week. It was an exceptional experience, and I found it incredibly beneficial for enhancing my teaching methods and gaining new creative insights for careers in the Arts. Your team’s dedication to supporting teachers ensures that we feel confident and inspired to nurture our students’ talents and broaden their horizons.”
“By being a partner school, our students have had access to things that we simply could not provide solely as a school. Students are given aspirational experiences and the opportunity to ask questions that they can’t ask teachers but can ask those working currently in the profession. Some of the talks that our students have experienced have involved adults who themselves attended our school and this is really important that students see that it is possible to work within the arts and locally.”
