Secondary Schools

We work with Secondary schools in a number of ways to:

• Support a school culture which fosters and promotes creativity and supports teachers through professional development opportunities.
• Provide young people with opportunities to see shows and work with professional artists/creatives both in school and at Birmingham Hippodrome.
• Work on projects connected to the programme at Birmingham Hippodrome and other schools across the city – where young people can be involved in launch days with cast members and perform on our stages and at our festivals.
• Provide opportunities to connect creatively to key festivals and cultural celebrations such as Lunar New Year and Diwali.
• Give young people an insight into careers on and offstage, developing leadership skills, and supporting young people to see theatre as a viable option for them.
• Support young people to be ambassadors for the arts in their schools.
• Empower young people to become Birmingham Hippodrome Young Advocates, feeding into decision making at all levels of the organisation.
• Be involved in the HEN Work Experience Programme.
• Offer bursary places for young people to attend our programmes outside of school.
• Provide schools and teachers with opportunities to connect with other schools and educators across the city/ region.
