In an exciting development for education, the Shakespeare Curriculum is being revamped for modern classrooms across the UK. This initiative aims to make Shakespeare’s works more accessible to students and teachers by leveraging innovative educational technology.
Funding and Accessibility
This initiative is made possible through generous donations from the Foyle Foundation and the John Jennings Trust. Their support plays a key role in ensuring that the curriculum is accessible to a wide range of students, especially those in state-funded secondary and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) schools.
Free Access for State Schools
- State-funded secondary schools in the UK can access the revamped curriculum for free.
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) schools also benefit from complimentary access.
Availability for Independent Schools
Independent schools can utilize this platform through a tiered pricing model. Schools can select their subscription based on the number of students participating. Payment options are flexible, including card payment and BACS Direct Debit through the Stripe processor.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, the initiative aims to expand access to further education institutions, primary schools, international schools, and home educators. By continually enhancing the Shakespeare Curriculum, the goal is to revolutionize the way young learners engage with one of literature’s greatest figures.
As the platform develops, the focus remains on providing an enriching educational experience that connects students to Shakespeare’s works in a relevant and meaningful way.
