As part of this project, we’re able to provide a tailor-made programme of additional support for the whole school, including staff training, workshops and performance opportunities.
The full project package is currently priced at £1500.00 for the current academic year, which includes £600 theatre ticket credit. But we are able to offer parts of the project at a reduced rate if you’d like a smaller package. For example, removing the £600 theatre ticket credit will reduce the project price to £900.00 and we can make further adjustments depending on the needs of your school.

With school budgets being set earlier and earlier, please get in touch if this project is something you’d be interested in finding out more about.
