Opportunities
We support artists and young people across the region at different stages throughout their career.
Apply now to be an Associate School
We work with the Royal Shakespeare Company as a regional partner of the Associate Schools Programme, designed to transform the experience of Shakespeare and the performing arts in classrooms across the county.
We are looking for primary, secondary and SEN schools from across the whole of Kent and Medway to join one of our clusters for the academic years 2025-26 and 2026-27. Schools join the programme for two years and will benefit from a range of teacher training days and workshops with students as well as performance opportunities for their young people at both the Marlowe Theatre and inspirational places around Kent for immersive site-specific performances. The schools form dynamic community where students can work with and learn from peers from other schools, and teachers can meet and share ideas to further improve their practice.
The programme focuses on schools and communities in areas of structural disadvantage, i.e. areas that are disadvantaged by the way resources are allocated and are under-served by the arts and cultural sector.

To be eligible for the Associate Schools Programme, we are looking for state-maintained schools who ideally have above the national average of students eligible for free school meals.
