Each local partnership consists of a Lead Associate School, who in turn recruits roughly ten Associate Schools. In many cases, these local partnerships include an Associate Regional Theatre as well as the RSC.
Lead Associate Schools are appointed for a two-year period with the opportunity to renew and extend their involvement at the end of this time.
A Partnership Agreement is issued to Lead Associate Schools at the start of their two-year period.
Every two years, our Lead Associate Schools will issue a new partnership agreement to the Associate Schools in the cluster.
If you are an Associate School able to confidently speak about the impact the work has had on students, teachers and the wider school community and interested in becoming a Lead Associate School, please email associate.schools@rsc.org.uk to explore how your school's engagement might develop further.
