Abstract
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Learning and Performance Network (LPN) ran for ten years, from 2006 to 2016, working with schools in economically deprived or isolated areas, seeking to transform the teaching of Shakespeare by introducing teachers to active,
rehearsal room approaches, many of which derive from the Company’s own rehearsal room practices. Descriptions and evaluations of this work already exist1 , which this chapter does not intend to repeat; instead it seeks to examine further the achievements of the LPN drawing evidence from new research funded by the Impact Acceleration Account of the UK’s Economic and Social Science Research Council (ESRC). This research, carried out in 2015, focused on four schools chosen by the RSC, where involvement in the LPN was identified as
having had significant impact on teacher pedagogy, children’s engagement with Shakespeare and broader social and academic outcomes. At the time of writing, data from just two of these sites, both of them primary schools, have been processed and analysed, so
it is to these that we will attend in this chapter.
