Membership Forums
When you book for a performance, then you will be asked for your school details. This allows you to be an ‘Education Member’ and this entitles the school’s representatives to attend our Forums. The forums are intended to give you a preview of the season to come, with details of the performances, the educational special offers and events, plus a chance to meet up with colleagues and also socialise!
We have two forums: • The Drama Teachers’ Forum: aimed at Secondary Specialist teachers and Practitioners from HE. • Primary Teachers’ Forum: aimed to support our colleagues in Key Stage 1 and 2. We e-mail all contacts with details of the forums so contact the Education Manager to get invited!
