This network is for teachers from across the Associate Schools community from SEND schools, including teachers that work in mainstream schools with an interest in this area.
The group has taken part in CPD, exploring how to use sensory stories to explore Much Ado About Nothing and focusing on Playmaking approaches when working with young people with additional needs. We meet every half-term.
Upcoming dates:
- Online meeting - Wednesday 18 October, 3.30-4.30pm
- Online CPD - Wednesday 29 November, 3.30-5pm

SEND Symposium - Making Shakespeare Accessible for all Students
On 7 February 2023 we held our first Associate Schools SEND symposium in Stratford-upon-Avon. This was designed for teachers who are interested in exploring how to make the rehearsal rooms approaches accessible and relevant for young people with additional needs.
We will be holding our SEND Symposium every other year and will consult with members of the network to decide on the focus and content for this event.
Feedback from teachers:
"I have attended many valuable workshops with RSC which have been invaluable for my teaching practice. This has been invaluable for my next developments. Thank you."
"All the techniques are just brilliantly transferrable and easy to differentiate to different groups."
"A wonderful, inspiring day, as always. A space to enable creative conversations and share insights and knowledge. Thank you so much."
"So lovely to spend a day with people who 'get it'."
