The RSC's Associate Schools Programme
* An innovative programme designed to transform classroom teaching * Builds on the legacy of the Learning and Performance Network (LPN) * Two ARK Academies were key hub schools nationally - Ark St Albans and Ark Helenswood * Developing skills which will support learning across the curriculum * Close partnership with RSC Helenswood have now been invited to be a Lead Associate School which brings additional benefits including: * Being recognised as an outstanding academy in the teaching of Shakespeare * Able to work with up to 10 Primary schools to develop an Associate School partnership * Providing outstanding CPD for teachers across all schools * Developing a teaching programme which supports literacy skills in all subjects Does it make a difference? Headteachers at the RSC conference said: * This has had a higher impact than any other CPD programme * Ofsted has recognised the higher standard of writing * Students are physically, emotionally and intellectually engaged * I have seen a massive difference in confidence, self-esteem, teamwork, and communication skills. |
