Overview
- Macbeth is available at launch, with Romeo and Juliet to follow and two additional plays added each academic year toward a ten-play offering.
- Each play is structured into eight modules with three lessons that draw on RSC production clips and practical tasks that position pupils as actors, directors and designers.
- The RSC says access is free for all state and SEND schools, with a goal of 80% of UK secondary schools using the curriculum by the 2029/30 academic year and an estimated reach of about 2 million pupils annually.
- Development has been supported by approximately £1.06 million from the Foyle Foundation as part of its legacy funding as the charity winds down.
- Dame Helen Mirren and Sir Ian McKellen endorsed the launch in London, as the RSC continues school pilots and gathers teacher and student feedback to refine the platform.
