Schools Connect

The Schools Connect Programme was a major project across Hastings and Rother bringing innovative teaching methods to engage young people in Shakespeare learning and performance.

Using rehearsal room techniques delivered by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Schools Connect offered unique opportunities for teachers and students to develop creative teaching and learning. The programme was developed by the network, supported by Artswork, and coordinated by Niall Whitehead and Barbara Ward Whitehead (Headspin Creative Learning).

The final report

Compiled during the third lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic (January 2021), when live theatre and music went dark and teaching moved online. The afterword was written by a member of the education team at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Without the support of Artswork, the network and the RSC education team, projects like Schools Connect would not be possible.
