Since the programme started seven years ago, over 350 schools and 75,000 children have been engaged with us to develop the teaching, learning and performance of Shakespeare in their schools. The LPN has proved to be a highly successful programme and the RSC is committed to its long term future.
During the past year we have reviewed and made some changes to the existing LPN programme and as a result have changed the way schools are recruited.
At the heart of the revised programme is a partnership with regional theatre companies who will work alongside the RSC and schools in their area. In 2012 these theatres are:
Five hub schools will be recruited from these areas and a sixth from the Midlands to work alongside the RSC.
In Sept 2013 we will begin working with six more theatre companies and schools. If you would like to join our mailing list for information about future recruitment, please contact us on education@rsc.org.uk, typing 'LPN' in the subject line, and we will keep you informed.
