The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC)
TThe Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) creates theatre at its best, made in Stratford-upon-Avon and shared around the world. Over the last eight years, our exclusive partnership with RSC Learning through a range of immersive projects and educational experiences has enabled thousands of students, teachers and the wider school communities across the network to benefit from the world of Shakespeare – developing complex language skills and increasing confidence.
Entering its ninth year, this partnership will continue to unlock the transformative power of Shakespeare and creativity in the classroom with RSC Learning’s unique approach. It will continue to be artist and teacher led, with a strong focus on teacher professional development and learning as well as providing opportunities for all students.
The Partnership
The collaboration includes a wide variety of exciting and unique opportunities for students aged 5 to 18 to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Shakespeare’s works through using tried and tested strategies from the RSC’s rehearsal rooms. Our programme of work includes CPD sessions with teachers across the network of schools and a teacher certificate programme, artist residencies for hundreds of students in schools across Asia, and an annual Shakespeare Festival, delivered as part of EiM’s holistic Worldwise Events programme. Students have also had the opportunity to see the RSC's Matilda the Musical as part of the production's international tour. In November 2022, students from Dulwich College Seoul attended the show performance at the D-Cube Theatre in Seoul, South Korea, the first foreign language production of the show. In March 2024, Dulwich College (Singapore) also watched Matilda the Musical at Marina Bay Sands.
