We are super excited to share that we are a RSC Associate School!

The programme is a long-term partnership between the RSC and schools and regional theatres across England. We will be working closely with The Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall. 

As members of this community, pupils and school staff will work in partnership with TRCH and the RSC to access performances, training opportunities, and theatre tours. They will also have the chance to engage in the RSC’s Shakespeare Ambassadors programme, training pupils to be Leaders in Shakespeare, as well as the RSC’s Next Generation talent development programme and annual Playmaking Festival. Year 5 will have the opportunity to perform in a Shakespeare play on the Theatre Royal stage in summer term of 2025, as well as multiple opportunities to enjoy live and exclusive Shakespeare performances.

A recent study found that schools who engaged in RSC teaching approaches enjoyed positive impacts on the confidence, literacy skills and problem-solving ability of the young people who participated.

We are thrilled to be part of this RSC programme and will keep you updated with all the exciting things we do!
