shakespeare in schools

This Shakespeare Lives schools’ pack was created by the British Council in partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 2016.
Specially designed to encourage learning across the curriculum, the resource is split into five key themes; Leadership and Power, Family and Relationships, Identity and Equality, Fate and Destiny, Justice and Rules. Throughout the pack, you can find a variety of participative activities for students aged 7-14.

The Rose Theatre is proud to be part of the Shakespeare Schools Festival, in partnership with Shakespeare Schools Foundation.
Shakespeare Schools Foundation is a charity that transforms lives through the unique power of Shakespeare. Our annual Festival provides a platform for up to 30,000 young people to express themselves and grow in confidence as they take to a professional stage.

We are the largest youth drama festival in the UK and our offer to enable four local schools to work together on one performance day and night is unmatched.
By making the festival non-competitive we are able to specifically target disadvantaged children and schools. Our workshops offer teachers the tools with which to engage a whole class. We challenge teachers’ preconceived ideas of their own expertise and their ability to develop new ways of teaching. We challenge students to prove their potential and to represent their school in the community.
