Before Covid my department had regularly taken students to London to see shows, and after discovering London Theatre Tours, we took them to do workshops with cast members. After the pandemic hiatus, this is something I was eager to re-establish.

As with most music teachers, I organise trips with Year 9 to help students develop their skills towards GCSE but also to advertise why they should take Music.

Giving them a chance to see themselves in rehearsals and the theatre is a key careers moment, and will hopefully have a positive impact on uptake at KS4 and beyond.
