Shakespeare Club
Ethelbert Road has a dedicated Creative Arts Provider, who supports our Shakespeare Lead to run our Shakespeare Club. They use all their skills and techniques to up-skill staff to ensure creativity is embedded into our curriculum and beyond. These skills are used to deliver workshops linked to topics and to enable our children to take part in shows in different environments. This includes performing on stages, outside in our locality and in our school.
In September 2024 we will become a lead school for the district of Thanet where we will share our experience, skills, knowledge and impact of being part of the RSC Schools Associate programme.
With links between creativity and mental health already well-established, research also shows that young people who study creative subjects are more likely to do well at school, be more employable and become more active, engaged citizens.

Our Shakespeare Club were very lucky to have a workshop delivered by Callum from The Marlowe Theatre. He taught the children some amazing movement and characteristic skills and was super impressed when they showed him their scene from Hamlet. We are so proud to be an associate school of the RSC and we can't wait to perform our scene in Hamlet at The Marlowe Theatre in June.
