  • Summary

    An examination of the work of Shakespeare Schools Foundation (SSF): a UK-based cultural and education charity that introduces the work of Shakespeare to primary- and secondary-aged pupils in a ‘real-world’ active context.

    The chapter looks at how SSF encourages engagement with Shakespeare’s text in collaborative teacher/practitioner/pupil partnerships, with a focus on inclusivity and rehearsal room techniques. The focus is on SSF’s flagship programme, the Shakespeare Schools Festival, which engages primary, secondary and SEN schools, and also on other residential partnerships with SEN settings.

    Case studies explore how participants’ collaborative abilities and confidence increase, and highlight participation among pupils from diverse settings and disadvantaged backgrounds.

    The chapter will consider how SSF’s active approach to Shakespeare contrasts with traditional instruction in the English classroom, and include the challenges faced by SSF in providing its programmes in the current UK education climate.
