Schools and Colleges

Take Part

Theatre Royal Wakefield aspires to support local primary, secondary and Special Educational Needs schools and colleges in teaching creatively and believes that all children and young people should have access to the performing arts as an audience and participant.

We support teachers with continuing professional development as well as creating bespoke in-schools workshops to accompany productions. Our Theatre Nation Partnership (working with the National Theatre) has allowed us to take National Theatre productions into secondary schools in Wakefield. In 2019, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time performed to over 1,300 Wakefield students in their own school halls.

Speak Up

Speak Up is a new secondary school programme that aims to inspire a movement of young people, who want to speak up about the issues that matter to them – in their schools, their communities and nationally. Theatre Royal Wakefield are proud to be a Speak Up Partner as part of the National Theatre's Theatre Nation Partnership.
