Hope and the English School System

This theatre performance followed by a participatory workshop has been devised in collaboration with educational consultants and is suitable for pupils at Key Stages 2 and 3 ideally Years 5 - 8 (although other year groups may be included if numbers permit).

‘Providing a safe and happy leaning environment is integral to achieving the wider objectives of school improvement: raising attainment; improving school attendance; promoting equality and diversity; and ensuring the well-being of all members of the school community’
