Are you passionate about museums and heritage sites providing high quality, inclusive and accessible learning?
The Volunteer Sandford Award Assessor plays a vital role in providing a supportive space for heritage organisations to showcase what they do and how they do it. Our assessors’ panel is made up of museum educators and heritage and education consultants bringing together a wealth of experience and expertise to the Sandford Award scheme.
We welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to engaging and developing a diverse volunteer body. Every volunteer offers invaluable support to the Sandford Award and Heritage Education Trust and they get something back from it too.

“I get so much, personally, out of being a Sandford Assessor. Not only do I feel I can contribute to maintaining the quality of learning at heritage sites, but I also get to experience and learn about some of the best practice that is available to schools and other learners across the country. Being a part of the assessor team gives me a network of experienced heritage and education professionals to talk to. I definitely feel that being part of the Heritage Education Trust has helped my own personal and career development.”
