RSC Associate Schools Programme


The RSC Associate Schools Programme is a partnership programme with regional theatres and schools across England.

The RSC Associate Schools Programme builds on the success of the Learning and Performance Network (LPN) which celebrated its ten year anniversary in July 2016.

Over the past 10 years the LPN has worked in long term partnership with 507 schools, 11 regional theatres (including Newcastle Theatre Royal), 1,320 teachers and reached an estimated 690,000 students.

“100% of surveyed hub and cluster school teachers reported that participation in the LPN programme had enhanced their skills, knowledge and confidence in the teaching of Shakespeare.” LPN evaluation report
