Year 9 Shakespeare Workshop with Shakespeare’s Globe

In advance of our Year 9 trip to Shakespeare’s Globe in March, we were delighted to welcome the Globe into school today to deliver an engaging and inspiring workshop for our pupils.

The practical and interactive session brought Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to life for students aged 12–14, encouraging them to explore the play through a range of activities and drama-based games. Pupils examined key elements of the text, including language, characters and themes, in an accessible and enjoyable way.

Drawing on the Globe’s unique performance spaces and theatrical traditions, the workshop provided a valuable foundation for students’ GCSE English Literature studies, helping them to understand how the play was originally performed and experienced by audiences.

The workshop was led by one of the Globe’s highly experienced educational practitioners, including professional actors, teachers and directors, who expertly guided students through the session and brought the text to life.

The workshop was a fantastic introduction ahead of our upcoming visit to the Globe, and we look forward to seeing our students build on today’s learning when they experience the play in its iconic setting.
