This is a major research project assessing the impact of Shakespeare’s works and RSC teaching approaches on children’s writing, commissioned by the Educational Endowment Foundation and funded by the Department for Education’s Accelerator Fund.

Voices From The Classroom
A collection of case studies have been written as part of our major research project, Time to Act.
To produce this series of case studies, we asked teachers from our Associate Schools Programme and Teacher Research-Network to record and reflect on the changes that have occurred in their classrooms as a result of their work with us.
