What do the Children and teachers who take part say about the CSF?
The Children's Shakespeare Festivals aims to meet four key aims:
The testimonials below are taken from a post-project evaluation and from anecdotal feedback provided by the teachers and pupil who took part:
Aim: To raise pupils' aspirations
Aim: To increase confidence and improve well-being
"My class have shown a real sense of cooperation and cohesion through the project. I'm not sure there is another way they would have achieved this. Just wonderful."
"I have no doubt it was a life-changing experience for many of the children. You can clearly see them carrying themselves completely differently from prior to the project"
Aim: To increase engagement with the arts
Aim: To develop the use of drama in the primary classroom
"I asked my class today who was keen to learn about another one of
Shakespeare's plays one day and literally every single hand shot up. How many classes of 8-9 year olds would have that response?"
For someone like me who is drama shy... the whole scheme including the residential has gave me the boost and confidence to use drama confidently in class.
